Default RE: Flying Technique Question

I DO NOT recommend the "over the shoulder" or "imagine your in the airplane" technique. This slows reaction time and creates very bad habits. It is fine at first but if you continue using the technique you will bust an airplane one day b/c of delayed reaction time. It takes way too long to visualize yourself in the airplane. I teach the "low wing" aka "down wing" method. If you want to fly park fliers and slow stuff forever the other methods are fine but you really need your visualization skills to become 2nd nature with NO hesitation between the eyes, brain and fingers. To visualize yourself or turn your body creates a lag in reaction time.
