Yes, I've done slow flying and it's a pain in the

flying around with the stall warner briefly sounding all of the time. It is part of the syllabus. Very hard work. I think I will try out a few different types after I have got my PPL, all being well.
There is a Chippy at the airfield I fly from. Hmmmm.
Not sure about that DI: I will have to go away and have a think about it, although my senses were also telling me that the a/c was gently turning.
