You're reminding me of one of the drills my instructor had us do in the Cub(mid 60's flight training) -- Arlo had me pull the throttle across from thelanding point & put the Cub into a L.H. forward slip -- the turn to basewas accomplished by easing out the right rudder (the bank was alreadythere) -- on base you applied the R.H. rudder -- same thing again for theturn to final. The pattern was real close -- about 1/2 to 1/3 normal -- alot of fun slipping the Cub with the windows & door open.I also liked the pattern we used at the glider port -- at the "point" westarted a shallow constant banked approach -- no base leg as per say --just did a big descending 180 degree turn -- easy to adjust your turn rateas you came down.You guys are "clearing your engine" on base, aren't you??;-)Mike C.
