keef,

For minor adjustments, it's usually the yoke for me - the power stays in the right place.

Yes, fly the numbers, but for small adjustments (like what you should be doing on an ILS) have you tried just making very small adjustments to your pitch using the trim wheel to stay on the glideslope? That's small adjustments by the way. Its actually a lot easier and more sensitive than using the yoke. Did I mention only using this technique for small adjustments to pitch?

Use the rudder for small adjustments when flying the localiser. Apparently this heretic approach also works nicely on bigger turbine powered stuff, but that's only what I've been told by others
