 Strange how flying instructors get stuff right into the head, isn't it!
 I find myself doing things almost instinctively, because he bashed it
 in so deep.   I couldn't have told you if I use aileron or rudder to
 keep the wings level on takeoff and approach -- so I watched myself
 last week.   It's rudder.   Thinking back, I remember now ... Ivan
 drummed RUDDER - RUDDER - RUDDER into me before I ever got to solo.
 I had a partial engine failure half way across the English Channel
 a few years ago (landed safely back at base, but one cylinder was
 all shot).   Went through the checklist in my mind once I'd decided
 what was happening, and found everything done (mixture full rich, fuel
 pump on, full throttle,...).   My daughter, sitting in the seat beside
 me, said she'd never seen my hands move so fast as they did in that
 first couple of seconds.
 Doesn't make me a good pilot (nothing will do that) but it does make
 me safer!
