Got advice to use this manuever early on cuz I drive the spit16 a lot...
One thing to do is take a look through the climb rate data for each plane in the list...see which ones have high rates of climb, which ones don't...
I found that a good place to practice this is when you're down around the ground taking out a base (pre-vulch) and they're upping a lot of planes to defend...they're slow, they're climbing out, and you can usually start out with a small energy advantage in that situation...
Just another thought tho, you have to watch SA doing this...it's easy to be looking in the mirror watching for that "best time" to turn on your opponent and get picked when you're in a low E state...high picking pony, typh, or LA, coming down on you typically, cuz you're looking back and down
