it takes ALOT of time with a plane, but you should start to know exactly what the plane is doing. you should develop the sense that 'if you hold the stick full right for 3 seconds, it will roll 2.5 times' once you get to that point you no longer have to rely on just your eyes for orientation, you KNOW what the plane is doing without seeing it constantly. I'm up to that point on most of my planes, but the ones that I"m not certainly up the pucker factor!
