To return to the original post/question, this old wrinkly had a terrific thrill when offered a flight LHS in a Paro identical to the one he had owned for many years. After 24 years it was just like riding a bicycle, every landing a greaser, power/pitch settings adjusted almost by sound. Where I came adrift was in radio procedure, and I was totally lost with some gadget called Garmin after doing my IR on single-pointer basic ADF etc. If you're taught the basics I think basic flying should be automatic ... but not this **** iphone and other electronic stuff.
