My two cents worth -
Training is all about teaching you to compensate for the shortcomings of machines- both the one you are training on, and the ones you will later fly.
The problem is that the learning curve initially is too steep on machines that eventually teach you to compensate well. What is needed is a machine that has stabilization and a governor for the engine that can later have these turned off as the basic skills are developed.
A major change in the method of teaching flying is needed- hopefully some of the new simulators being marketed will develop this. If the various authorities will allow something that isn't a simulator (has no motion) and also is more than a training device...
