I'll try and catch up Djpil. I find I learn best by trying something once or twice and then "process" it in my head for a week and then go out and try again.
Looping and barrel rolls now feel OK with no middle ear issues. Lazy eights no problem. I guess more barrel rolls, then aileron rolls, would make sense next week. Then perhaps some spins. Then I need to get serious about recovery techniques and start doing these manoeuvres with some sort of precision instead of just flopping around in the sky, relying on the aircraft and instructor to keep me safe.
There is much more to this than I thought.........................................
............and yes, it is addictive.
