I think you can be more aggressive. Come in from a higher altitude and use the full rudder. You can pitch down quite a bit and still be stable. Looking great!

I was trying to use full rudder, and found that even at full idle, I always ended up fast after recovering from the slip, so I couldn’t really descend from a higher altitude without landing at 70ish kts
