It is a good idea to already now pay attention to the details:
- The fly-by should be straight, at constant altitude and
speed.
- Try to achieve well-defined transitions between the segments
- Think of the turns 2) and 6) as separate segments: In my
head, the "program" for a stall turn might look like this:
"straight ahead --- pull --- straight up --- piro --- straight down --- pull --- straight ahead". - During exit, try to mirror the entry path.
- Keep an eye on altitude and straightness during ascent and descent: It will take careful collective corrections to give the illusion that the heli is gliding up and down an invisible slope.

| feature: Straight line in fly-by |
|
|

|
||||||||
| feature: flyby at consistent distance |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: constant flyby speed |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: clearly defined transition into ascent |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: left and right side work equally well. The peak altitude is about the same. |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: The heli ascends on a straight line |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: The heli does not sag or drift away at the turnaround point |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: The descent is straight and matches the entry path |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: The transition from descent to straight line is crisp and round. The heli doesn't bounce or sag, but exits in a straight line parallel to the ground |
|
|
||||||
|
||||||||
| feature: The stall turns (ascent) don't lean towards the flight line or away from it. |
