Get one of those inflatable “doughnuts” that people sit on when they have tailbone injuries. Inflate maybe half way or a little less. Uncoordinated flight will be instantly felt... in the seat of the pants. The doughnut greatly exaggerates the same sensations you would feel when uncoordinated without it. Once aware of that feeling, it’s easier to recognize. Do this in cruise only.

When I started flying a Caravan powered by a Garret engine, in which the prop rotates the opposite direction as it does on most aircraft, that was an eye opening experience. Suddenly, right rudder on takeoff and climb suddenly became left rudder. Adding power or reducing speed, more left rudder! However, it really reinforces those fundamentals that we spend so much time teaching. Sometimes, quit looking at the instruments and just trust what you feel in the airplane (ONLY GOOD FOR VFR). If we had better access to these aircraft in the training fleet, I think it would create better stick and rudder pilots. That's why I also recommend private pilots get their tailwheel endorsement, even if they don't plan to use it. Suddenly, keeping the airplane straight on rollout is very important, and more difficult when you don't have a direct link from your feet to the ground.

A simple statement of yours just helped me tremendously - coordinated flight is presenting both wings to the same relative airflow. I'm a low-time student and that conceptualization of the aerodynamics just clicked. Thank you!
