Tiger Moths have slats and if I remember there is a requirement to lock them closed before aerobatting. This is because one can deploy without the other, which sort of throws things off balance.
Maybe the Rallye has the slats linked (so that neither or both always deploy).
As Stik says just take it gently and be high. The danger in a loop is that you are upside down and slow at the top (well you should be). If unco-ordinated and too slow this could go all wobbly on you and cause an inverted spin. I would get the recomended speeds and keep in the top third ie if its 100-130 kts then start at 120. Might be easier to start with a wing over first and then maybe a roll.
