It came up in the Cirrus thread and I kinda thought most people had tried it
If you ever lost everything and wished you had a parachute, Cirrus style. You can pull full flap engine at a high idle trim full aft and using just your rudder pedals and compass maintain a controlled decent. Don't touch the yoke, sit on your hands they will get you in trouble, pick a heading a try to maintain it plus or minus 45 degrees don't over correct with the rudder pedals. You'll have a decent rate of a couple hundred feet and you can ride it all the way down if you needed to. I've tried it in an Archer and Saratoga and it worked.
