Any one have any tips to make it easier and achieve straight bonds? The roofs about 8m up the rafter using eternits. Any help would be much appreciated.

Which plane is it curved in? If you've got rising eaves then it gets tricky, if distance eaves to ridge is constant then make yourself an overlap wedge so you can taper the (designed) 5mm gap between the slates.
 
Striking perp lines can't work if your using the same size tiles round a diminishing curve, I would say just make it water tight.

its convex and concave about 120m through the eave same through the ridge with monos. Tried striking it but it aint much use. The eternits are ending up more like randoms. Its a learning curve to say the least! Excuse the pun! Catlads methods the way its going :/ .
