One of the reasons you don't teach them at low level!

I like to teach max rate turns because it allows you to explore the a/c handling characteristics in relative security, i.e with one of us onboard.
All a/c handle differently; some flick in, others flick out and some do very little, but isn't it better to allow someone to experience the full ability of the machine before they are likely to ever need to do it for real?
Before someone leaves my hands, I want them to feel totally comfortable with the machine, not unsure of what it can actually do.
This does mean pushing the limits occasionally, but hey isn't that why we're paid so much?......

A bit like spinning I suppose.
