I would still prefer what the POH says to any amount of advice heard during
hangar flying and/or read on internet. Moreover if an instructor says
something that contradicts the POH and/or the Airplane Flying Handbook,
that instructor would have to come up with a really good explanation if
s/he wants to see me as a customer again.


You need an instructor that plays in the dirt alot. I'm not an
instructor but I will outperform any of your typical college flyboy
instructors for short field landings. That's what I'm good at, but
don't ask me to help you fly a turn around a point. The POH is general
info, you want to do it at a higher level of performance you find the
people who do it all the time. Some of them may even be instructors,
like the people in McCall, ID.
