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
 
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?
