I probably flew 200 knife edge passes on G3.5 before I ever tried it at the feild. I hovered in the sim before I ever tried it at the feild. I am now practiceing 4 point rolls before I try it at the feild... G3.5 has paid for it's self by saving me hundreds of crashed airplanes.

As you may or may not have noticed, a KE pass, especially high-alpha KE's are far different on the sim than in reality. 4 pt rolls are about the same...hovering on a SIM is just kinda funny.
It's about building muscle memory in the thumbs. Doing so will help limit "Dumb Tumb" manouvers. If you can practice the manouver repeatedly you get to a point where you dont have to think which way to move the sticks... especially that under utilized rudder (untill you want to start doing aerobatics). So with that said. I stand by my statement.
