If you can keep your head level with the horizon while thermalling, you are thermalling WAY to shallow! I flew yesterday and tried it - at my normal 40-45 degree of bank there is no way to keep my head level and inside the cockpit, and it would be extremely uncomfortable. Add the fact that I'm looking around, usually into the turn, and the answer is you move your head to the best postition that allows your eyes to see where you want to see.

When doing acro, you have to start with your head aligned to the aircraft axis. Then you move it as needed to pick up your pitch and roll cues.

This should be completely automatic!
