FWIW, when I was a new instructor, I allowed one student to get a
little too far behind the PIO curve on tow (this well above 1,000
feet) and we swung rapidly from low and right to high and left. Ka-
thwang - ....


Oh, man, how many instructors have stories like that? When i was a new
instructor, I was flying with an "experienced" student on a 20+ knot
wind day. On short final, he was getting slow below the tree line and I
said "keep your speed up". The next thing I know, the stick goes forward
to the stop. we hit on the skid (2-33) bounce back into the air and I
recover after that. Ever since, I keep my hand MUCH closer to the stick
near the ground when a student is flying.
