Sorry about continueing the thread drift, but I agree with flying by attitude awareness.
Most of my clients come out of "spam cans" ie Cessna, Piper, and Cirrus. Virtually all of them chase the airspeed indicator and altimeter and invariably do better when flying attitude alone. They are much smother and less choppy on the controls, and all are surprised at how much information is outside the window.
I like to think that they all go home a better pilot. I know they have more fun.
I don't mean any slight to the aircraft mentioned above, they all do a good job at what they were designed to do.
