I agree with the poster that said to ride it till she's dead.

It's better to just get over the "fear of losing it" hurdle right away.  It makes it alot more fun later on when you realize that losing 250 perks by diving on some crappy ENY 30 plane isn't the end of the world after all.

And, it's always nice to water the trees with your tears (great line man).

Funny thing is almost every time I trying flying safe with it I would end up dead or come back home with one or two kills tops. Then when I was going to change my name I knew I was ganna lose all my perks so I went on a perk point spending spree. When I flew then on the deck HOing everything in sight I couldn't die.


If its your first time flying it get get over the fact that you will lose it and just have fun while you're in it. Climb up to about 5-6k so you can outrun anything diving in on you and just fly around. If you take it up high and fly safe then you'll end up with no kills or end up compressing it into the ground.

My first several 262 hops I ripped the wings off in banks. My first sortie where I actually got to altitude I dove on a set of b-26s and after tearing up the air around them I politely lawndarted. finally landed my first sortie a few months ago with 6 bomber kills and I almost soiled myself from the glee. It's a fragile bird.

Don't bother blowing your perks on a 262, you will likely be dissappointed by the results you will get if you are a new player.

Sums it up. when I had to delete SpikesX I simply couldn't die. had 10K perks to burn and it took me 4 nights...with about 5 hours each. All I flew were 262s and Temps. I HO'ed everything in sight, upped at vulch fests. flew through CV ack, you name it I did it...only died about 10 times or so...

Klinks rule for 262's.........never buy a 262 new,....get it at a yard sale (i never buy if they are over 150 perkys) Never fly a 262, unless you have perks to  buy at LEAST 2 more. Cause your gonna be left feeling like a crack fiend, with no money plus - feeling stupid for that dumb move you just pulled in the jet. ODdly, enough, you'll want another. :O Don't stoop to begging for perks,... Keep and eye on your speed, wings rip off fairly easy at 700-800 mph. Everyone will want to kill, you,...at any cost. closure rate is alarming, first 100 flights or so in it.Its very hard to kill anything  in it. Other than that ,...it is a blast. :rock

Been there, done that. :)

Actually really easy IF there are no cons around the field you land at. All you need is to watch the speed, plan abit ahead and line up using rudder. Only time i ever failed landing one without wingtips is when i tried on a carrier that started turnining.

I would goto the training arena and test it out. See how it flies and learn its limits. Maybe get a friend to go there with you or ask a trainer for some tips. If you only have enough points for 1 then you might want to bank more. Good luck to you.  :salute
