The point is he's fighting SIGNIFICANTLY more inertia than I am, in a plane that doesn't turn all that well to begin with.
Schatzi and Woody: When I picked him up again I could see that he had followed my Split S, not flat-turn or pulled into an Immelmann over me (I'm in an F4U, pulled back throttle and kicked out gear to avoid overspeed and blackout in the Split-S).
