If you are hung up on Boots\ Shoes\ trainers look for some with rolled heels,
(like car race shoes.)
BUT I bet the neuron path is the closest explaination.
Feet are the most difficult part to cordinate, for me it was a real problem, some say it still is
"The 180 on landing" been there done that, I was made to pick up and do it again, again, again, slowly, the reason given, "and the instructor was correct," was that I dumped collective without pedal input due to the brain overload, and a wish to be on the ground NOW.
Whatever people tell you flying the Helio is one of the most difficult things you will ever do, why do you think you will be in full controle after 12 hours?
More hours\training regular flights 1 hour, then a break if possable, then another hour.
Your brain is trying to assimulate a whole new way of doing things, spatial awareness, physical feeling, motor reflexes etc. if the instructor is not helpfull ( he might be a good aviator but a good cfi ?) is he the correct one for you?.
