ORIGINAL: aerowoof

the only problem oftraining without the buddy bos is when the student gets in trouble and you reach for the transmitter and they turn away from you because they still think they want to correct themselves .then shove it into your hands wuith about 20 feet of altitude.This happened to me just one time about 30 years ago.I find that some students need more coaching/talking control inputs through the fligbhs than others.I would use the advice from the above post and reduce control throws,especially airlerons,most trouble is a result of over control/over correcting.one other thought is a lower pitch prop my also help and if progess is made the a higher pitch prop can be reinstalled.ie if using a 9-6 intall a 10-5

With my thumb and forefinger underneath the student's thumb, I can monitor his thumb movements and prevent him from banging the sticks around. I can then show him exactly how to move the sticks...from safe and smooth takeoffs to landings. Using this method, there is no need to pass the tx back and forth.
