teach him how to land with a deadstick
I have discussed this inevitability with him and due to the random nature of a deadstick your reaction varies. He is lucky to have a good running engine (TT .46 tuned by me) and a great airframe (Avistar 40) that is set up well and performs reliably. Once he is more comfortable with the flight characteristics of the plane we may do some dead stick training but the ones that get you are right after take off or to hot on final. I can warn him about that but practicing something that could potentialy bend his plane even with experienced thumbs on the sticks would not be a good idea.
