"I can see the downgrade due to lack of S&G due to picking a bad direction
for the stall turns (and the probably downgrade for it looking like a
wingover would potentially be severe) a slight fuselage angle into the wind
is typical of a stall turn, and ttrying to go the other way is ASKING for
the turn to flop if you don't turn early, which rotates around the wingtip
(or some distance further from the fuselage than the wingtip) instead of
near/on the CG."
Absolutely no need for an S+G downgrade for a wingover or a flop - the book provides downgrades (on technical merit) for both.
