Great points from Naudet... just wanted to add to the no following the break turn thing. Generally if a con break turns away from my attack, I will do a climb back up to my perch. However, you must judge how much "e" you have with respect to the enemy. If you don't have much of an e-advantage and attempt to do a high-G pull up into a loop/hammerhead/immelman, you may be asking for it. The smarter cons will recognize what you are doing and not come up after you. Instead, they will unload and dive a little to gain speed. Then when you are coming back down on them, they will pull up to face you. Either they will joust with you (HO), or pull a lead turn and end up behind you as you overshoot and attempt to pull up. The second method is what I try to do when bounced (something I learned from being on the wrong side of that move). So in that situation (low e-disparity), I would make a gentle climb to extend and watch what the con does. If he/she does indeed have enough e to come up to you, you will have room to get away. The point is to make a judgement call on just how severe a pull up you are going to make, based on what kind of advantage you have over your target. Good luck!
