slipping is my favorite technique. Right now I fly on a large field but I have trees on either end to avoid. This is no problem for my smaller EF Extra 300EXP but is much more difficult with my Reactor. The Reactor is very slick and you cannot point the nose down or it will float all the way down the field. Learning to slip correctly takes some practice. I normally add in opposite rudder while in the final turn. For a left final turn you use right rudder or vise versa. I just use full rudder deflecton and balance the model using opposite ailerons. Once settled into a good slip the plane will fall VERY fast. Practice this maneuver high up or at a different field till you get the hang of it. Good luck!
