Always turn and face the attack.
When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area.
Fire short bursts of 1 to 2 seconds and only when your sights are definitely 'ON.'
Whilst shooting think of nothing else; brace the whole of the body; have both hands on the stick; concentrate on your ring sight.
Height gives you the initiative.
