I see where you're coming from, Vortex, but I believe teaching attitude, power and balance separately should be limited to a demo and a few tries.. .From then on, I'd advocate getting them to do it all together, to develop the feel. Naturally there's a fair bit of close monitoring to make sure they're not going to overtorque or whatever, but why not teach as we want to see people end up doing?. .Obivously descent at a lower speed than the cruise is a separate case where you want to bleed off speed before setting off down the slope.. .My aim in all this is to try and get the eyes outside as much as possible.
