you see...just as i was about to say...
KEEP IT SIMPLE....
some like to delve into theory. of course a certain amount is necessary ( and from what you say you are more practical )...but not as much as some would have you believe...and most students do'nt like a great deal of it either..they can learn all that from the books for their exams..
you are teaching a very practical subject..learning how to fly...keep it practical.theory never knew how to fly..
..you do...so teach that and only what you need to explain of theory in order to help people to learn how to fly.
