| Lesson
Ten: Scissors |
Simply put, the Scissors is a series of turns and
counters, with neither pilot able to gain an advantage. As the
target turns into you, you turn into him. Roll back toward the
target when he has crossed your flight path. Once clear of you,
roll back again turning as tightly as possible. Once you are on
the target's six, roll into his direction.
Tips for success:
- A slower but more agile plane wins this engagement if
piloted by an experienced aviator.
- This move is very dangerous at low altitudes as the tendency
is for both planes to lose altitude trying to regain speed
lost in each turn.
- Throttle back to keep your turn tight, but don't stall. You
stall, you lose.
