Two things to mention on the Horizontal Eight.
Positions #2 and #4 must be inverted.. pilots tend to roll the aircraft too soon, it needs to be a distinct inverted flight, then roll.
Secondly, there can be little to no lateral movement of the aircraft. Ideally, it should be performed over a runway to verify.
