it appears to me that things like strip runs, spins etc are rapidly disappearing from the curriculum (instructors repertoire of skills) in teaching people to "fly", and therefor anyone teaching such skills is quickly shot down by the other "professionals"
Could not agree more ultralights.
It is all very well to teach students to fly in balance all the time but once they have mastered this they should be taught how far out of balance the aircraft can fly. Sideslipping is a very handy tool and should be taught to students.
It is a shame that alot of students are being taught by the 'students' that graduated from the previous course.
