Nice!

That first one was a real nail biter. Not often you get to dance that long without somebody butting in.

Nice video Hlywd! Was a nail biter first time watching.


I noticed there was a couple times where you could have gone up and back over (like you did at .33 seconds) instead of rolling back around to the right. At .40, had you went slightly more vert before rolling around, you may have had him, and maybe should have gone left with the engine torque instead of right. (If you roll right, always cut throttle to roll you faster). You had the E advantage after his slight flat spin there. At 1:22 should have gone up in the vert and back over to the left instead of rolling right, as you brought him back into the fight with his E rolling down and allowed him to get the shot.

Then you had em, but fell for the nice reversal at the end. Instead of just guns full on and spraying, make sure you are cutting throttle as you near him if speeds are average while trying to get the lead shot and focus more on the shot. As soon as you realize you may overshoot, pull up immediately and go into a high loop.  You did pull up, but you were too fast and didnt pull up in time so he was able to get the shot. Had you had just cut throttle and stayed with him, he wouldn't have been able to spin around because you'd have stayed on him.

Anyway, fun film, just throwing out some observations and tips. Thanks for sharing!  :aok
