FNG,
A good idea. I have about an hour on taildraggers - I think it`s made me a lot more "rudder conscious" than I otherwise would have been.
From my experience, it is an area that somehow gets a little bit neglected (due, I suppose, to the type of aircraft on which most student pilots train).
While we`re on the subject of balanced flight, I was practising some timed turns (partial panel) yesterday, and it drove home to me the importance of flying a properly co-ordinated turn. I get a strange satisfaction from seeing the ball stay in the middle as I go through the turn and come out on the hoped for heading after x seconds!
Thanks again everyone for all the helpful replies
