It sounds like you are doing very well. IMO, orientation from every angle and autos are the keys.....dont skip over this like I did when I started. It will come back to bite you! I went from hovering to forward flight, then to loops, rolls, stall turns, inverted stuff......that is where I got into trouble. I found out that a forced auto due to a flameout is pretty tough when ya never tried an auto before, and my first one was while I was in an inverted hover about 20 feet in the air. I managed to do a semi-decent heli saving auto, but at that moment, I decided to get back to the basics that I skipped earlier...orientation and autos.
