I think we've covered a slip with flaps adequately, so I ask a natural follow up.
 
My slippers don't have flaps ... but my Red Ryder one piece pj's just might :D
 
Klinger flapped in a slip when he tried to escape MASH in that red hang glider...
 
Imagine something like that could be found on YouTube. Suggest not linking it here.
 
Stop flapping the slat! Or slapping the flap?
 


Obviously yes. The bird was clearly in a slip and flapping at the same time. But he is a professional, we amateurs might not be able to pull it off.

Practice, practice, practice. Proficiency is critical.
 
I would not reconfigure a aircraft while in a hard slip .I would however loose the slip,apply flaps as I require and than add slip back in.i am assuming you are in a landing mode and very close to the ground.
 
How about a flapper in a slip?
