OK I realize this has been discussed; however today I found something that makes sense and pretty much seals the deal for me.
"Slips with flaps are either prohibited or not recommended in the POHs. The slip problem arises from the possibility of extended flaps under certain conditions such as in slips or wind shear blocking or interfering with the airflow over the horizontal tail surfaces. I have had such an occurrence in a C-150. The tail surfaces stall and the nose pitches straight down before the stall warner has a chance to yelp. Cessna merely admits that there may be control oscillations."
He does also mention that this only happened once in 9000hrs of flying. Prior to coming across this I was never opposed to slipping with full flaps; however I'm going to rethink that now!
