little wrong us tend unconsciously correct flight path model appears maintain set altitude distance us bank away result unconscious continuous correction process inboard wing-low climbing-diving arc So old straight level isnt simple appears actual scores receive other complex maneuvers connected right really Besides being perhaps difficult fundamental skill acquire perfect parallel pass arguably important wellespecially comes scoring well Practice time well spent area can raise average pilots per-maneuver average score average well somewhere between quite bit whole bunch important

turns will end up looking like bent bobby pins Loops will spiral unless unconscious correction corrected again top loop usually leads another correction bottom same effect holds true reverse maneuvers
