Added to that I once held a zero level (ground) waiver for aerobatic demonstrations so I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that with few exceptions you will not find a more qualified person here on PPRuNe to comment on hand-flying at aerodynamic limits within 300' of the ground. Thus telling me that "Pilots need to develop a feel for flying" is like the dumbest thing I have been told in quite a while.
Please go read- and then you can edit your comment to appropriately reflect what I have written, what my experience is, and you understanding of same.
Warm regards,

Wonkazoo:
Are you really saying that an accomplished pilot such as yourself has had no need to develop a feel for flying?
