It might add some value for the instructor though - last time round I loaded a non-aerobatic instructor in the back of the Yak and spent a pleasant hour coaching him in some basic aeros - he loved it to bits, I got some valuable PFL-to-land practice in (not available from the overhead at WW unless you have an instructor on board). Another convert to the dark side, job done.
Alternatively, do an hour with Uncle Alan.....unless you've got that Krysta loop from the Masters down to a fine art...
