Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Recognizing that the 110 with E controls the fight the following is usually somewhat helpful.
The 110 relies more on zoom then sustained climb when the fight is going upward. Anytime the 110 can zoom "unloaded" its winning the E battle...
The 110 does bleed E fairly fast when manuevering under G load. So the goal is to keep the fight fairly fast and the 110 "loaded"...low yoyo's to a climbing rolling scissors or similiar can bleed the 110 out if you survive the process.
Normally I'll extend as best I can then low yoyo back into the 110...if he goes nose up I go nose down and run like a scalded rabbit. If he drops the nose I'll convert into a spiral climb or vertical rolling scissors and take my chances. A good 110 driver will protect against the bogie taking the fight up and use his fire power to force you back down. relying on his weight to create the speed he needs to catch you...working that fine line where you can infact either get over him or scrape up enough E to extend is tough.
The better the 110 protects his high ground the better stick he is normally. At some point you'll either have to give him a shot he thinks is worth taking or catch him on the top of his zoom with enough E to avoid the reverse...
Once you get the high ground the key is not to get sucked into a nose down shot. Like the A-20 the 110 gathers E quicky and its nose mounted guns will carve you up very quickly. A very underrated adversary overall...
