Yup. At minimum yaw, there is significant additional drag associated with a slot. At otherwise large yaw stall conditions, the slot delays separation, and during delay separation, drag is significantly reduced. My original premise was that an abrupt, minimally radiused 90 degree bend to the flow is locked in at high yaw conditions, regardless of vehicle speed.
