Cub, thanks for enlightening me in this matter. Now it makes much more sense. The said instructor was very experienced and he soloed many students in that 10-15 hour range. For some reason, probably because I am still new at this, I spend a great deal of time doing slow flight and explaining to them aerodynamics both on the ground and while doing slow flight. I think it might be a bit too much overkill for a primary student...
UCMC,
yes I can only hope I don't get any one of my students sick. Speaking of airsickness I almost hurled in a Pitts S2A while doing spin training for my CFI. If it wasn't for the Cheerios I had for breakfast that morning I cannot imagine the mess/embarrassment I would have gotten myself into considering that this guy was going to hire me...
