Have to agree. I tell my students to learn to fly the plane. I see so many depend on crutches. Just a week ago I was talking to someone that crashed because his trims were in the wrong place. I asked what difference that makes. You should always fly the plane. He said they were too far off to fly it. I don't think that should make a difference. Fly the plane, get it up a ways, fix the trims. If you rely on a crutch, you will never fly the plane to its potential. I flew helicopters for 15 years before I ever put a gyro in one. Lots of fun.
