I think you slightly misunderstand my point ! I don't profess to have special ability or peripheral vision When I take off , every time , I get the aircraft light on its skids and see the effect of pedal input .....before ..I take off.
This way I re aquaint myself with the rotor direction , can see what power I have available ...and also get a warning if there is any t/r problem whilst still being able to use friction to stop any radical moves . It has saved me possible serious problems more than once including once having lost t/r servo which I didn't notice during start up ( I know , I should have but I didnt !)
A reliance on predicting what's needed can make smoother flying ,but at the end of the day you have to be prepared to put in ANY pedal , and maybe a whole bunch of it if that's is needed , regardless of what you muscle memory tells you you should be doing .
Sorry , slightly off track as May not be relevant to this problem !
