In a similar vein, the Cessnas on our DZ have a "smiley face" sticker
affixed to the underside of the wing.  By having static-line students 
concentrate on looking at the sticker it seems to help them maintain
a good arch.

There are also a couple of hand shape stickers on the strut to remind 
them to get out far enough before releasing from the plane.
