Default RE: Flying Technique Question

I was taught to point the stick at the low wing. Another thing that helped, was to pivot one of my feet in the direction I was flying. If the plane was coming toward me from right to left, I would pivot my left foot to the left. I guess it gave me a reference point for where I'm trying to go. It represented the plane moving away from me - which is easier to control. As I got better at flying, I noticed I used these methods less and less. It got to where I only pivoted my foot occasionally during landings. And eventually I quit doing that.
