This was actually a core inspiration for this project. A student on his first solo at an airport north of me crashed on his base to final turn.
> Can I put it into a forward slip, or will it refuse or return to coordinated flight?
Yes, you can make if forward slip. It's a bit clever imo--you just "ask" for low speed and a high descent rate and the energy controllers in the flight computer will figure out that a forward slip is the best way to achieve that. We also have independent ailerons that can be used as spoilers for an even faster descent.
> If I need to make a steep turn to avoid someone heading the wrong way on base is it going to let me?
yep! just push the stick full deflection. you'll feel the active stick fight back because it doesn't want to bank that steeply in normal flight, but you are in control of the plane and it will do anything you command up to it's aerodynamic and structural limits.
