What does one do if the student or instructor doesn't have a sim? Also, I've trained many students who have put in many, many hours on a simulator, but only managed to teach themselves bad habits, such as banging the sticks around, since there wasn't anyone there to monitor what their fingers were doing. Then I had to teach them to unlearn many hours of them "mixing a batter" with their fingers.

"Imagined flying" is telling the student how to move the sticks without flying the plane. The instructor through flying experience should know how the plane would react by any given stick movements on the tx and through his imagination, convey that info to his student. Like what a baseball batter, tennis player, golfer, boxer practices before they do their thing for real. Guess you would just have to use your imagination. LOL
