Also the first last and most practiced item in your sequence should be the straight line. A straight line as at the beginning of every other maneuver. A true wings level straight line will reduce your headache in the loops sections and will help to establish a good presentation. I still fly my first practice of a day in straight lines across with turn-arounds at the ends. I throw other maneuvers in in later flights. I wish you the best of luck and remember that its not about being perfect its about improvement.
