You know, "fly"...feel and hear the airplane. People want to fly by the numbers or by a predetermined scrip. I know some of the people on this forum know what I am talking about when I say fly be hearing the plane. I can tell you what RPM and airspeed I am at just by feeling the airplane. That is skill that is lost and as a result, that is why we have more accidents.
I totally agree with you. I fly a Cub so there's a lot of flying be "feel". However, recently I started being convinced that perhaps flying by numbers at the extreme edge of the envelope may be a better idea. Have you heard of "moose stalls"? Lots of flying by feel there...and it doesn't look good.
