First of all your reference line should lead from the pilot's eye to form
a line that is parallel with the wing, you should not be using the wingtip
(for a number of reasons).

That might be my problem. At some point an instructor told me to "keep it
right on the wingtip so you don't lose it." Maybe I misinterpreted.

Thanks for your input, everybody. Have a glorious weekend!
