yup, I was going to chime in for exactly this reason, one of the main reasons for having a turn and bank indicator in a full scale airplane... cross control stalling.
a cub, Sopwith, really any model big enough to NEED rudder in a turn is a thing of beauty in a forward slip, but ooooo boy it gets ugly quickly if you forget the first commandment:
"maintainest thou airspeed lest the ground smite thee"
anytime you're feeding in opposite ailerons and rudder, KEEP THE AIRSPEED UP
