| The Lag Turn is the exact opposite of the Lead

turning ability. As you intercept, turn into the target's flight
path loosely. Allow your plane to drift wide and lose momentum.
Tighten your turn while throttling up slightly but still losing
speed. As you approach stall speed, open the throttle and keep the
stick back. See an animated example Flash player required Tips for success:
