Maneuver help...
« on: October 26, 2001, 12:42:00 PM »
As my roomate sunking likes to say, my "Cessna tactics" just aren't going to cut it for me in a dogfight.

Which happens to be the case that I am very often being outmaneuvered in duels and have a hard time shaking people off my six unless I've got tons of E.

So, since I AM just a Cessna pilot, where can I find some help on some aerobatic maneuvers that might help me in a fight?

Wineman, I think part of the problem is your just not scared enough.  Sunking, every time wineman dies hit him with a chunk of 2x4, baseball bat, or other available instrument.

When you've got someone on your 6 screw the rules, forget Cessna flying and give er all you've got. Ask yourself what Capt Kirk would do in this situation.
