My first ride with a potential CFI in the right seat and me in the left seat
playing student always began with "What makes the airplane fly?" If the
answer got into the lift equation or angle of attack I knew I had some work
ahead.

Yes. I'll suggest to you what I have suggested to every CFI applicant I've
ever coached.
Be prepared to explain what is complicated in plain simple easy to
understand terms, REGARDLESS of how much you want to impress the examiner
with your "deep" knowledge of the subject.
Inject enough to satisfy the examiner that you are well aware of the
technically complicated answer, but lean heavily toward reducing that
complication right on down to it's most basic level. NOTHING impresses an
examiner more than a potential instructor's ability to do this....NOTHING!
Aside from this, fly well and teach even better, and you'll do just fine.
