This procedure gets you into the maneuver with very little trim change. The downward trim changes caused by the decreasing airspeed are offset by the upward trim changes created by the flaps and power.
Yes it takes longer; that&amp;rsquo;s OK. There is no time limit in the PTS for setting up minimum controllable airspeed (MCA). Don&amp;rsquo;t rush it; that&amp;rsquo;s when you will screw it up.
Once in MCA, control airspeed with pitch and vertical speed with power. To change/correct altitude, use power changes.
Exaggerate rudder inputs when rolling the airplane. Adverse yaw is more pronounced at low airpseeds. 
When maneuvering, pitch or roll the aircraft very slowly. While the inertia of the aircraft is unchanged, the aerodynamic stabilizing forces are decreased at the low airspeed, and there is a tendency to overshoot pitch and bank changes; especially true in roll, since adverse yaw is more pronounced; roll will be very sluggish. If you ever get it rolling fast, it will be hard to stop it smoothly or close to where you want it. Better to never let it get moving that fast in the first place. 
For turns, add some power if the bank is greater than 10&amp;deg;. Learn what power setting it takes to maintain 0 VSI, at 1.2 Vs1 and MCA, in 10&amp;deg;, 20&amp;deg; and 30&amp;deg; banks. Remember to take the power back out as you roll out. 
Ask pilot: In MCA, when will the pitch attitude in level flight be higher: MCA in a clean or landing configuration?
