I've actually _watched_ Spits doing this.

As to the Emil the slats and flaps result in a very steep approach, nose-down. It actually had very good visibility for the time.

You might want to take a flight in a Rallie some time, it's very similar. On finals it looks like you're going to fall out of the nose of the airplane and into the prop. The actual glide path isn't any steeper, just the AoA of the plane.
