Rant on: I understand most of the things that they ask you to do for each license. But I always felt that doing 8's on pylons and chandells was (mostly) stupid - the only thing they really helped me do is more 8's and chandells. I guess you could argue that they demonstrated precise control and understanding through a variety of speeds and conditions.... or some other high flutin' kind of %#$@. They don't really have much practical use, but they add the third dimension to maneuvers requiring you to divide your attention looking inside and outside and adding energy management into the equation. 8's around pylons are like a 3-dimensional turn around a point, lazy 8's are like 3-dimensional S-turns, and chandelles are, well, I don't know, they are easy and fun.

Find a young DPE to do it in the 500 and you’ll make a friend and an ez ticket.

I really believe an instructor shouldn't fly any airplane you aren't capable of instructing in. I instructed in the Eclipse and will feel very comfortable instructing in the Citation (in a year or so after 100 hours) or the Lancair or any other airplane I have more than 100 hours in.
Don't let this happen to you, $600 and a lot of stress. Instructing in a Citation after 100 hours? I hope you are joking.

I'm actually glad this occurred (although I'm not doing this again). I felt like I got value for my fee, learned something and met a nice DPE. Congratulations!
