Thoughts & advice would be very much appreciated.

My thoughts are to take care of flying in the following order:

1. airspeed - increasing... pull back on the throttle; decreasing...
push in on the throttle

2. pitch attitude - nose down... pull back on the yoke/stick; nose up...
push forward on the yoke/stick

3. roll attitude - roll left/right to wings level

This is NOT the generally taught method.
You must roll the wings level before pulling back to break a dive
or you risk just pulling yourself into a graveyard spiral.
