I'm just getting invovled in instructing in lightplanes again. My
mission? To get the guys in my flying club and turn them into

anything but their oil pressure and alitimeter..

Gosh, can't you give them an engine?

Ideally, we'd get a glider to start them off with, but this will do in
lieu.
I'm not kidding about this, BTW. They'e going to learn to fly this airplane
from minute one with no airspeed indicator.It has no gyros anyway. It has a
comm and an encoding xponder alright, which we kind of need (Citabria, BTW)
They can have the ASI back when they don't need it anymore and they can
start carrying a GPS when they don't need that either.
