I still did them (awhile ago now). I actually found them easier under
the hood then when doing my PPL. You just keep checking on the AI during
the scan and keep that picture the same. Rollout is the same under the
hood or not. Assuming you don't futz with the power or trim (which you
wouldn't do normally anyway).

No trim? Hmmmm, I don't know about that. I was taught that adjusting the
trim is a great way to ease some of the burden of holding the back
pressure during the steep turn. I didn't do it until I practiced steep
turns under the hood, and found it made it much easier.

Of course, you have to remember to remove the trim when you roll out ;-)

after you are in the turn. Don't futz with the trim. Trim the **** out
of it as you enter the turn. You can go hands off if you do it right.
The plane will circle until you run out of gas!

Well ... this is what I meant. Trim while you're rolling-in and again
while rolling-out.

I was taught to add a tick of power, as well as trimming.
