I can't remember the last time I dropped gear in a fight, rolling scissor or otherwise.

There's no benefit in dropping the gear

[SkyRock]

I might drop gear trying to get an over shoot in a dive, that's it.  In rolling scissors I am trying to save all the energy I can for the snap.

The benefit is in the loss of speed causing your opponent to overshoot.

Worthless tactic that will get you killed by any decent to above average stick.

Been known to drop em at the top of a loop - but thats only because my gear button is next to my flap button and I get all excited etc.......works tho (kind of) - helps you over the top (no, I still didnt win...lol)

I'd do it if I knew I could shear a gear off into Lazer's cockpit and rampwn him while only losing the gear.
