Lots of good stuff, as usual. I would emphasise the use of a distant object, ideally a cloud as you won't get confused by ground drift. The ball is a backup, like the ADI is a back up for the a/c attitude; of course you use the real horizon for establishing a/c attitude, don't you?
I agree with the remark about flying a type with more trim variation as it will make keeping the a/c in trim more of a second nature. It is far more apparant when out of trim in some types (even more so in helicopters).
