And that is exactly what I was referring to. Doing stuff in the airplane for the first time while youre trying to instruct someone isnt a good idea IMO... just saying.
So maybe it would be a good idea for him (the CFI) to take the airplane solo, (or just not in an instructional role) and do all the maneuvers first? Plus its probably not a bad idea even befor taking the airplane solo to ask "how is this airplane going to try to get me in trouble?".
As for the people that say "get in a 172", it will probably cost way more money to rent the airplane and learn that all over again, than is is to use any airplane that the student already owns and is proficient in.
