To slow the aircraft, bank in one direction and give it a fair bit of opposite rudder. It will cause you to go into a slip that sheds a lot of

hehehe...the good ol' sideslip technique - I hear old school piloting

Every pilot should do some landings in a Cub or any taildragger to learn this technique. It will come in handy in certain situations (short
field landing with steep descents) as well.
Very good advice and a nice reminder for me to get some more hours of "fresh-up" training.
Cheers Launchbury!!!
