Wildcat,
  You have a good idea but what you can do is have the fellow pilot .join you in the aircraft then show hi/her exactly what you are doing then have him/her (being politically correct) and as you are flying explain to them what you are doing and why. Then have them take off in the same plane as what you just showed them in. just my .02, but good idea. :aok :aok

I know this but is it really efficient? Some trainers are only on for so long and every time someone has to up their own plane, try the move, get more advice or correct something, that is taking up more and more time.
Landing is overrated.

wildcat is not that i dont support your idea, it's pretty cool.  however seeing the controls move in the cockpit and trying to figure out how to move them is two different things.  you would need to set up a training session just so you can teach a new guy what moving the controls actually means.  then comes the situation where they have different hardware.  you may have pedals, they use keyboard only.  that's where it's gonna be hard to train somebody because for example if you are me, i dont know how to use the keyboard to fly.  other than pressing b and space bar.

like i said it is a good idea, but may be hard to implement and it does take away time from coading my a26.  :salute

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.
