In small high wing planes (Ie 172, 152, 150) do you do/teach pulling
throttle all the back to idel? I've been told bring it to 1500 RPM, 1
notch of flaps. Not as hard on the engine

It's much more exciting to pull the mixture!

I new and instructor that would move the single C-150 fuel shut off valve to
off in the traffic pattern, he did it once to many times, he was left
holding the valve handle.

Which is why I never fly without a Leatherman :-)

Had there been a crash it would have been interesting to listen to him
explain to the fsdo inspector how he, singlehandedly, managed to trash a
perfectly good airplane...
As I mentioned prior in this thread, lets be careful out there...

"I knew an instructor...."

Can you connect your finegers to the controls of the aircraft?

If you can't connect properly, you just might pound sand in a nose down
attitude.
