Harry,
 I'm not going to argue with what you are saying about what's in the book. But when it comes to teaching beginner's I prefer to have a crosswind when I'm teaching them. I've found that it's easier to teach them correctly the first them than to try and re-teach/unlearn bad habits they picked up because they weren't taught correctly the first time. It grinds my teeth all the time when I see people that were never taught how to use the left stick properly when they were learning to fly.   [:@]

Harry,
I'm not addressing this at you in any way. You just gave me the opportunity to vent my gripe.
