If your plane is on fire and you cannot perform straight maneuvers whilst on fire is a sideslip classed as a straight?

No. The straight maneuver is the strict game definition of the 'straight' maneuver. Even a stall, climb or dive manuever doesn't count as a stright for this purpose.
Nope, you will notice the cards are marked with arrows to left or right, the straights have arrows pointing up, so you only have those three cards unavailable to plan with.
It may be easier to drop them out of the deck for three turns to avoid the danger completely in the heat of battle - accidents happen !

Thanks for your answers to Baxter's question. His question came about because I was flying the plane on fire when I planned a Split-S. As each of those moves are straight lines on the manoeuvre card, I took A damage for each of the three manoeuvres. It now seems that I should have only taken one A damage for the 'long straight' at the end of the Split-S.
That's correct, Doug, so you can get off relatively lightly compared to Andrea's preferred original intent of destruction - which some think is a reasonable consequence for those who break the rules and plan straights - He says Ares changed it in spite of his protest.
Dropping the straights out of the deck for three turns would prevent it happening and remove the temptation.

Yep excellent suggestion.
Take the reversal out as well, in case you mistakenly try to plan a Split-S in your Card #2 and Card #3 planning choices.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
