Yeah, I've got to agree with BPF on the ASI issue. THe ASI is a wonderful instrument for assuring you that you're not flying the plane too fast (for those GA types capable anyway!). For slower flight, I would rather see the momentum/inertia, and flight path managed (which requires zero reference inside the cockpit in VFR flying). Feel the plane, and the momentum you carry, then consider the trend, and the available flight path. Do they all sum up to look good?

If you have honed this important "eyes out" skill, the rest of the flying is going to work out very well.
