Good article in one of my mags (Plane and pilot maybe?) about seat of the
pants flying. It's called that for a reason. Cause the butt knows.

Listen to your butt, grasshopper.

Assume you are turning to the right. Here are the three possible
looks you'll see if you 1. don't apply enough rudder. 2. Apply too
much. 3. Apply the right amount.

Okay, I learned that during the coordination exercises; that I got, but
only because it's got an obvious sight picture. But that only helps
during the roll-in and roll-out of the turn, right? In other flight
regimes (e.g., climb-out), I don't seem to have the kinesthetic sense
indicating coordination. Maybe I do, and I'm just not recognizing it,
but that doesn't help me :-/
