You stated "Holding the rudder outbound" and I took that to mean you would hold the rudder. I know guys that you have to drag out the stick plane and beat them over the head with it to demonstrate they don't need to hold in rudder to fly a loop in a crosswind either.

I wouldn't want a beginner to believe that he/she needs to hold outbound rudder during each pass if the wind is blowing in or visa versa.
