Really appreciate you making these videos! I love all of the on-screen data too, especially the flight path KML-really helps visualize the different altitudes and approach paths. I'm a huge fan of slips and did a big one during base to final while practicing power-off 180s with my CFI for commercial and he didn't love it, but I had the airspeed and control the whole time. Seeing this gives me a bit more confidence that a slip can be useful in all parts of the pattern. Thanks so much, Joe!
I was taught to fly...by a WW2 HellCat pilot... with thousands of "traps".....slips were taught to me almost at day one.....I'm an advocate of such flying ...for many... many times the forward slip saved my bacon...I have done a lot of aerial photography flying and the small airports in the middle of no where... are usually short....with lotsa obstacles (lotsa deer) on both ends....The use of slips are REQUIRED "IF" you wanna stay alive...."IF" you want to get the photos back safety.... never forget ....the day you are not the "master" of your craft...STAY ON THE GROUND!!!
Had my discovery flight there. A ppl now buying a PA-28 160 and live near ILG where the plane will probably be kept. Hopefully I’ll get to see you in the sky this year. Fly safe. Happy New Year.
Great content, Joel! My "small" Boeing is a Stearman, but your videos make me really miss my Cub. I'd buy a PA-11 tomorrow if I had the hangar for it. I was slipping my J-3 once with a strong left summer crosswind down in Houston. Like your preferred slip, a right slip wouldn't have been effective, you know what's coming next! The resultant cross-cockpit hurricane took my baseball cap and glasses off and ejected them both from the cockpit at about three hundred feet. (Earplugs, no headsets.) Never did get them back. I still take a perverse amount of pride in the fact that my 1942 airplanes is the newest aircraft I've ever owned.
Literally I always slip in. My instructor said anything over 500’ a minute is considered “not a stabilized approach”. I said I want this next one to be a touch and go we’re going around again. I took him on a long down wind and said engines out now what?! He looked at my like the highway over there. I said I was here the same spot 1,000 feet higher and we’d make the runway. This is why I’m always high as long as possible and slip in. Altitude is your friend and the longer I have in the air the more control I have. I slip so fat everytime on final. It’s a must for me.
Very nice flight demo, Joe. I was flying with my dad as soon as I could sit in the seat. He always slipped when needed or wanted, so slips were never a big deal to me. Early teen years flying with an old friend in his Stinson, he came in high, cussed a bit that we were going to go around. I looked at him and said just slip it in, he said show me, and I did, he was a bit surprised. Always a tool in the box that can really help you. I also agree about those early morning flights. Best time of day.
As much as we Cub pilots love to slip, there are passengers who think they are going to die when you hang in the sky like this. After scaring several people, I started to brief them that I might slip while approaching, demonstrating them earlier in flight how it feels by flying a soft slip. When they are prepared, they usually like it a lot!
Dutch Rolls are a great tool to really get the feel of the aircraft and mixing the controls along with slips all of them used properly will make us all more proficient! Excellent video!
Again Joe,!!!…. Now I gotta go fly my Chief!!… every time I watch one of your videos, I gotta go fly!… I found a primo grass field this week & im gonna go do some nice juicy slips into it!… thanks brotha,👍🏻…keep the shiny side UP!
Great video. Slips are one of the reasons I love flying my J-3. It makes me get better. And without slipping in the Pitts, approaches were always a bit blind. *Every single pilot* should be familiar with and completely comfortable slipping (or getting that way). It can make all the difference in the world in a tough spot/moment.
Very nice video on slips 👍🏻👍🏻 Perfect demonstrations in various scenarios. I learned to fly on a hilltop runway that was under 1200’ and slips were essential to have available. Thanks for compiling this video! Cheers 🍺🍺
When I was working on my tailwheel endorsement, I once found myself high and close on base. I thought to myself: "OK, how do I fix this?" I'd been flying for years and I knew how to slip--I just hadn't done it for a long time. I turned final, slipped the airplane (an Aeronca Chief), and made a passable three-point. My instructor said nothing until we were rolling out, and then he said: "Nice slip, but you could have planned your pattern a little better."
I loved watching you slip your lovely Cub. I also used the slip many, many times in my Experimental Amateur Built airplane (N63955 - now out of service and off the N number list). I had a friend who lived on a farm and I visited him quite often. TALL pines at each end of his farm. Sliped in from eitheer end of his "grass runway." Like you said: It just fell out of the sky. I didn't have a great deal of ground to work with, so I HAD TO SLIP. Loved your video, was very instructional. (Who would fly a GA plane if you could fly a cub or an amateaur built plane? smile.
Great video like always! Well since I’m training in Champs and Cubs, if it wasn’t for slipping I would have a lot more go arounds! In my case, by learning this, it has built up my confidence and the ability of an airplane.
You talk so much about slips you should be known as Slippery Joe! But jokes aside, I agree 100% and I am very thankful for you making solid videos on basic stick and rudder skills. Keep it up, man! And happy new year from Norway! RN I suppose its another five hours until 2025 over there. We are an hour in, and so far the earth hasnt opened up and aliens have nit attacked or anything like that. We just might be fine…
Great video (both content and visuals). When flying small (and old and draggy) airplanes I like to keep some energy in the bank when in the pattern, and the slip is just the way to control the energy state. With newer planes (flaps, less drag, less rudder authority) a slight slip when turning final can help to establish Vref.
Another great video. Have you ever compared your IAS, while in a slip, to actual airspeed. Given that the pitot and static ports are affected during the slip, I wonder what the delta is ?
As always.. Great videos and useful content. Curious on how you capture and display the telemetry data. I have been doing some videos on my journey with a 2010 Carbon Cub SS I purchased this year in June. Yu may even already have a video on that very topic.? I also plan to get a 360 setup using your video on that as well. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.!!
I agree with you on when to fly. I've been at the airport on an early weekend morning, BEAUTIFUL, and NOBODY is there but me and the guy in the tower. What a waste of a great morning.
awesome video thank you. I can see your base (hometown airport) is flying w I assume. Im right there aswell and got my ppl at vay. Super nice especially in the morning when no one is out
@@Bananasssssssss Yeah it is! Im in flight training over at TTN now so im sure ive seen ur plane haha. Do you recommend becoming a cfi to get to the airlines the fastest way possible?
My only tip is when you slip if you have right and left tanks like in our Cherokee 6 the fuel pickup is on the inboard side of the wing so when on the right tank drop the left wing and vice versa… now in our Ercoupe it is a terrible slipper lol
@@Bananasssssssss same in our Ercoupe the firewall tank it doesn’t matter that and The Coupe doesn’t have enough rudder authority to truly slip and with no flaps it’s a slippery lil 85hp lol
Slipping approaches are absolutely the best. Judging the point to straighten out at 20 ft above the touchdown is a masterful move like no other. Try flying a PItts and find out what thrilling THAT is. You drop like an anvil until the last minute correction. Woo hoo!!
Yep, Canadian Boeing 767 ran out of fuel due to kg-lb calculation error at 41,000 ft. Captain had glider and slipping experience and safely landed the airplane with minimal damage and no injuries at the Gimli Motorsporks Park (an old airport) in Manitoba. Wow.
Another benefit of a forward slip is not needing full flaps, which interfere with a quick decsion to go around. I've seen some instructors on nose draggers who insist that students practice full flap approaches and not slips. Sad really.
When you are talking slips you might want to clarify if you’re talking about a forward or side slip, as you know they’re two different animals. If it is true you can’t side slip an airliner, well, then it would be impossible to execute a proper x-wind landing. It amazes me how many professional pilots touch down in a crab. It’s a very high percentage. Explaining the x-wind landing should be an interview question. If one cannot explain it they surely can’t execute it. Until one is comfortable flaring with the controls crossed they will not make good x-wind landings. You have surely witnessed many people you fly with touch down in a crab. You however, have excellent stick-n-rudder skills and your little J-3 is a work of art. Thx for all the great videos.
I’m contacting the FFA as this video clearly demonstrates you exerting skill and at points you come dangerously close to enjoying flying.
Greatest…. Comment…. EVER.
@@wadenulton9243 Good call, report him now! How dare anyone come close to actually having fun in an airplane
Love the slip. My first flight instructor was a cropduster. We did a lot of slips. ❤😊

Once I learned how fun slipping was, I annoyed my flight instructor by frequently slipping on final. That is... until he said "knock it off". 🤣
Sounds familiar, they can be addicting! 😂, lol

Give them some basic instruction and let them do some slips under close supervision. Their anxiety disappears quickly.
Excellent video! Love the camera work, especially the views from behind the aircraft.

Corben Baby Ace pilot, we don’t need no flaps! You have more control in a slip than yo do on the road! Great video. Wish I could fly with you.

Thanks for the slip video, Joe! So fun to watch!
I used a slip in my power off 180 today, turned it from a complete failure into a perfect landing on the thousand footers
So much fun. I could literally do that all day, lol

So glad I learned to fly in a J-3. Learning slips came early in 1958!
Slips are one of the funnest parts of flying.❤❤❤
agreed
Another great video! I need to get with an instructor to work on these.
I saw 45 on climb out and was like Oh Oh but realised it is GPS speed not airspeed. Nicely done video.
Thanks John!

Thank you !
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Joe, luv your content and am a sub. The wheel pants on the your J3, are they fiberglass?
Yup! Wag Aero ones.
Cubs were made for this!!
Enjoyed this
Thanks Joe!
This is how I feel flying the C208 in MSFS, and I can only imagine the rush in real life in a Cub
Nice! Finally using all this years years photoage. I can’t wait Joe 2025 is going to be EPIC!
Slipping is a must on final for me everytime. Keep altitude and lose it when I want to.
awesome video thank you. I can see your base (hometown airport) is flying w I assume. Im right there aswell and got my ppl at vay. Super nice especially in the morning when no one is out
Yup! Home sweet home. Really pretty area to fly just east of the W
@@Bananasssssssss Yeah it is! Im in flight training over at TTN now so im sure ive seen ur plane haha. Do you recommend becoming a cfi to get to the airlines the fastest way possible?

Actually a good point that I never think of because the nose Tank in the J3. I like it
@@Bananasssssssss same in our Ercoupe the firewall tank it doesn’t matter that and The Coupe doesn’t have enough rudder authority to truly slip and with no flaps it’s a slippery lil 85hp lol
I used to regularly slip the A300 as needed, rudder full deflection. Worked great. Nothing in our manuals forbade it…
Slipping approaches are absolutely the best. Judging the point to straighten out at 20 ft above the touchdown is a masterful move like no other. Try flying a PItts and find out what thrilling THAT is. You drop like an anvil until the last minute correction. Woo hoo!!
Lovely plane. What is it a cub?
yessir, a 41 J3
Yep, Canadian Boeing 767 ran out of fuel due to kg-lb calculation error at 41,000 ft. Captain had glider and slipping experience and safely landed the airplane with minimal damage and no injuries at the Gimli Motorsporks Park (an old airport) in Manitoba. Wow.
Depends on the aircraft!!
Is there a risk of bending the airframe in a slip?
I've only slipped when already lined up on final. What's the best technique for slipping safely in a turn from downwind to final?
👍
Another benefit of a forward slip is not needing full flaps, which interfere with a quick decsion to go around. I've seen some instructors on nose draggers who insist that students practice full flap approaches and not slips. Sad really.
What system are you using behind the airplane?
Its an Insta 360
Excellent demonstration and explanation Joe. A slip is such a useful tool every pilot should have in their pocket. Well done sir!! 🫡
Q: Why not use idle power for the entire approach?
I believe I did. Any RPMS are from windmilling prop
How do you get the GPS overlays for speed/altitude/VS?
Id explain it but its just easier to share this :) A video on how to add em
th-cam.com/video/GmvQNqLDkeQ/w-d-xo.html
@ Perfect thank you!
do this all the time on msfs...its great for losing alt fast without gaining v
I'd argue that stall speed goes down while in a slip....but I get lots of pushback with that statement
How so? I'm curious your thoughts.
I feel like Deja vu. That or you’re re-running old video clips.

Absolutely.
