"For experienced GA instructors - it's no big deal to alter technique. I think an instructor coming thru from a basic RAA certificate, with only the minimum required 75 hrs prior to RAA instructor training - would have their hands full teaching well in any Jabby."

Quite the contrary as we have seen. It's the "experienced" GA instructors and their respective students that are coming to grief in these machines, not the RA instructors out there who are flying crap-loads more hours in them than their GA counterparts.

As they say if you learn in a Jab you can fly anything and many have proven this before.

The lighties such as the Europa / Liberty, Jab and Tecnams do need to be treated like a virgin moreso than any other aircraft and the sooner instructors can both learn this "skill" and pass it on to their students, the sooner they will stop crashing and pushing up all of our insurance premiums!
