Default OK, flying, doing the basics, what’s next?

Here is where I’m at now:
The airplanes: Sig Mid Star and four star, both with 46 AX.
Both semi symmetrical wings.

My flying:
- No problems on take offs and landings even cross winds.
- Doing loops, long, short on a dime, inverted you name it.
- number eight in any direction, up, side, square, with or without a roll
- rolls right or left, well with elevator corrections, 3,4,5 rolls in a raw almost without loosing altitude, so its not competition smooth
- inverted flight I can do several pattern loops as long as its high.
- most of the time going home with no repair required (at last).


What I couldn’t do:
- knife edge my airplanes don’t like yet, or I couldn’t figure out yet.
- Rolling in a circle, I cannot put it to roll in a turn
- Slow rolls I’m loosing altitude.

One thing I noticed that with my airplanes I need to plan the flight ahead, I can do sharp maneuvers but it cost airspeed, its not a fun fly airplanes what I have.

So what should I be working on next?

I’m asking this because I don’t know if what is limiting me is the airplane or me.



Thanks
