"Step on the ball" was what BEagle was taught.
"The rudder bar is not a footstool" was what I was taught along with Low N Slow...
We weren't taught just to fly Spam cans with the vices designed out of them.
On thing is for sure is that none of us should let the speed drop dangerously low on approach.
This way we should all stay alive.
But beware the club Cessna/Piper pilot jumping into a Cub or Moth!
The thing is surely not to dismiss all techniques without consideration but listen, consider, practice and keep learning.
Keep the aeroplane within the envelope, be aware of what is happenning... monkey see, monkey do must be the worst type of training.
I am taking everything in but for now will continue using the rudder... a very underused control surface in my view.
