Rule Book, Page 82, Par. #3: "The pilot elects to "slip to a landing"
to handle a crosswind condition, in which case the upwind wing will be
low."<br>
The rule book allows a slip to a landing with no downgrade.<br>

<pre wrap="">Exactly when are you supposed to start judging the landing? If
you stop the slip before 6 feet off the ground then it shouldn't
effect the judge. I guess after so many years of flying I can tell
you that I'm a little tired of the judges and there petty
preferences that shouldn't come into play. But hey that won't
change things so I guess I'll learn to deal with it. Mike
