Your not missing much Backpacker.
I would be quite happy to never go in one again.
You know when its been rough when you take off the harness and it pings off when released after you have pulled it in 20 odd times during the last flight.
Then when you try and put it on again the seat has expanded again and you have to slacken it off to get it fastened again. Shoulders are aching where the straps have dug in and elbows are black and blue banging off the back of the arm rest.
And I have had a gliding converstion student in a tommy gain 1000 ft and travel 20 odd miles while doing a PFL.
