That is exactly what I think is happening. I am training in C152 and it "masks" the need for rudder and I am developing "lazy feet". I repeated the lesson on climb and descend for two hours and while managed to get a strong PAT, APT and anticipation skills, I still have trouble with rudder compensation due to increase or decrease of engine power. I just don't feel it and yet when I look at Balance, the ball is reclining either left or right but not in the centre. Perhaps i need to train my vestibular apparatus with more lessons spent in the air and be patient.

Also I am thinking of using a Flight Simulator in order to strengthen my airmanship, PAT, APT, FREDA and DABLE. Do you think Flight simulator would be of any help?

Thanks everyone!
