Default Pattern practice help

GW/Patternflyer,
Thanks for the input. Let's see if I understand this correctly:
Flying left to right, wind at my back and holding right rudder to stay crabbed into the wind so that my ground track stays parallel to the runway. Now I pull to a 45 for my entry into a 1/2 reverse cuban 8, with rudder correction staying the same. Neutralize rudder, roll inverted, and put in a left rudder correction. Hold this left rudder through the rest of the maneuver and into the flight back parallel to the runway. Now flying right to left with left rudder, pull through a 5/8 loop to a 45 down holding the same rudder. Neutralize the rudder, roll upright and put in right rudder for the flight up wind. Next, for the two inside loops at show center looks like I would hold the same rudder correction all the way through. Ok? Am I understanding this correctly?
