but one thing i have learned through so many years of teaching others to fly airplanes is that its also true that one way of explaining something to someone gets no results, while another way of explaining it causes them to understand perfectly... even though all you did was re-word exactly what you just told them the first time...

I betcha you only have one way to tell your student " PULL BACK ON THE STICK ... NOW ":rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
