Just to myth bust;
In game it seemed he reveled in the fact the he was "unbelievably skilled" to so many players
To pick out his piloting; Being a hinge neck he was only ever going to use aircraft that enhanced his strength; If he had Speed or altitude to use in an La7 or 190D, yes he'd win, he made few mistakes and always made sure a margin of error to flee a fight.
Co-E he was just as average as the rest of us plane maneuvering-wise (I have a film on my youtube showing as much).
His running away when he didn't have speed and altitude was and still is more legendary when compared anything else in his bag of tricks, getting banned for some shady toejam excluded.
His Gunnery was way above average mind you, I personally have never seen any one win as many straight up, straight down, head-on and high angle deflection shots.
Call me a fan boy - but the dude was an excellent stick. Also was a stand up guy, if you were in return. I could easily see getting bored of 4-6 years of whining from the same people and wanting to shut them down. I don't deny he deserved his ban, but when 90% of the player base thinks your cheating because of idiots that go unchecked for years (just as Merv said) it's wild to see it from a neutral perspective.
It really is a man of questionable character to make the effort to require the alt, speed, position and direction of his chosen foe, it proves that he stacked the deck to ensure he was always higher and faster to compound a facade that he was "an excellent stick" and " Unbelievably Skilled"..
When you come to realise his methods in the MA were all smoke and mirrors the conclusion is that he wasn't unbelievably skilled, it was indeed very believable.
Having zero conscience harassing people into leaving HiTech's game... That was his stupidity and eventual undoing, you simply don't fuq with the man's money.
