Well yes, we really don't want to go to extreme attitudes...

I definitely agree that we should teach recognition and remediation.

But I also think that the main point here is that a true kiting

is
a divergent condition such that, once established, can easily escalate
at
a
rate beyond human control. So we have to be careful about how we
teach
it.

I'm not a power/ tow pilot so this could be rubbish,but
Could an alarm be fitted at 90%back stick just to remind tug pilots
just
how
much up elevator they are using to prevent gradually drifting into a
potential
dangerous situation from which there will be no escape.

I doubt most of us need an alarm to know we're pulling that much.

I am sure you are right,it's just as a glider pilot I rely on feel,and
this
changes with trim,which is why we should always trim for the approach or
take off.
