As a followup to the suggestion of trying a plane that needs more rudder, if time & funds permit I recommend spending an afternoon in a glider. Most gliders have no gyro instruments, just the pitot-static and a drift string up front. Because you have no torque, precession or asymetric thrust to deal with you get a very good feel for what the controls alone are doing.
