acdii,



It's not a quirk.

It's normal for the nose to drop and the speed to increase when you initiate a side-slip. Thus, you need to control the speed using elevator.

So, you find yourself way out of balance AND holding a deal of elevator ... in other words, you have your controls nearly set for a spin. That is why the sideslip, near to the ground, can be dangerous for the unwary and inept.
