I seem to be having some difficulty in discerning the differences between these maneuvers. As I've always understood, a combat turn is simply a forty five degree bank with a pull followed by rolling level, gaining altitude and losing speed, and reversing direction. A yo-yo is the same except that the roll is later, so that you regain your speed again on the way down. And I have no idea what a pitchback is.
Also, what do you call it when you turn with alternating series of shallow high and low yo-yos? Yo-yo turning?
