David Coy,
That is the tie down that I have handy, similar to seaplanes, that is easy to reach for quick and effective wing control/tiedown. This can be especially handy in high winds.
Paul Hamilton brings one of his students through startup, taxi, takeoff, airport pattern and first landing. Paul is in the back seat and utilizes the "Low Approach" method as the first step to teach landings.

I trained in my trike after 6 lessons in Marks(instructor)....
Great Post. It sounds like instead of subconsciously using the peripheral vision, we should actively evaluate those side views. With the great visibility we have as trike pilots, this should be even simpler than from inside some GA aircraft.
The flying school I went to is quite unique in the flexwing world. The family atmosphere is what attracts a lot of the students and they go back time after time. The opportunity to talk about the day's flying with another student is also...
