yup, if he has enough e for a second immel, then dive on con he has done the right thing. it looks however that he's busted too much E and now has to split s into the con. the con could present a low profile then reverse. fight is far from lost by the looks of this image, although the lower pilot appears to have no clue... :)

Please vets ......only reply to learners.


Im sorry this didn't last long :)

High aircraft performed an Immelman to avoid the Head on shot from the obvious n00b below.
Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Dunno where all this talk of a Split Esse is coming from, low plane did a flat turn.

Every single one on one should start with Immlemans from both planes. The plane that doesn't do an Immleman on first merge and stays low will lose. Every time.

what happens if you crash into the streamers? does it snag your prop up and make it stop and so you crash?

Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad?"
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

My hope was to get new guys interested in the art but what the hey!

Full marks for Nhawk, TequilaChaser, Drediok, Booz, Major Biggles, Repoman and TinmanX.  Perhaps some of our vets could post similar pictures to generate interest or willingness to learn.  

TequilaChaser deserves the gold star even though I'm sure it's a flat turn as opposed to a split esse when describing the cons activity.:aok

First opening thread picture shows Immelman maneuver.  New-ish guys may wonder why certain maneuvers have names yet we fly in a 360 universe where anything can happen.  These are key maneuvers that when used at the right time will assure victory over the opponent.... or the avenue to "run away" :lol

I'll add the following 2 pictures so newer guys can follow whats already been discribed.
