it didn't feel too bad. I'm looking forward to trying it for real, obviously under supervision!
IME, being shown wing down approach, especially when the wind is from the right, is quite hairy and uncomfortable (C152). It feels unnatural coupled with the fact you're trying not to "correct" the FI's inputs when you follow through on the controls, whilst trying to brace yourself so you don't slip off the side of your seat on to his lap. All a bit weird.
