yes, tomahawk spins are a wakeup call. good idea to secure everything in back before you spin.
So many people write about engine failure, and certainly it can happen. So can spar failure.
but it is best to control a plane with primary flight controls. changing flaps seems like such a waste.
I've taught many people to fly and would not spend more than a few minutes of briefing on non standard ways to fly the plane. things like in an emergency like a stuck throttle, try using the mixture to control power, or if the ailerons fail, a little rudder and not too sharp a turn.
But flight path control with flaps belongs with things like ground signals to search aircraft. Worth talking about, but I would not make a student demonstrate the signal for injured person.
Wondering if the same flap jugglers even know the agreed upon signal from surface to air for injured person?
