I usually look at the nose and wing tips. This gives me a better definition of the plane when it starts to fall off.

The center of the plane - the canopy or so. That way I can see the rest of it in my periforal vision & also see where the plane is drifting.

Same. I like to focus on the center; focusing on a wingtip just doesn't work for me.

For me I look at the nose and wings when the canopy faces me, in torque rolls or when the belly is facing me, I look at the tail and the wings. go figure.

On the ground in front of me, at the pieces of my plane.

You're supposed to watch the plane when you hover it?

Definitely the canopy area and landing gear area when the plane is torquing.

I watch the tail. I can see any movement as soon as it happens.
