Hi this may sound strange but everyone at the field keeps telling me to "stay off the elevator". When I started flying trainers on final approach they would tell me to stay off the elevator until I was about to touchdown and then begin flare. I got that down pat, now recently I've been having motor issues and a couple deadsticks that didn't end well. Again they tell me the elevator caused a stall and that I shoulve let it fly in instead. It doesn't make any since to me... If I let go of the elevator the plane is going to fall, not glide. Is there some kind of trick to doing this? Sorry if this sounds crazy but any advice would be great
