Fire short bursts of 1 to 2 seconds and only when your sights are definitely 'ON.'
Height gives you the initiative.
Always keep a sharp lookout. "Keep your finger out"!
Always turn and face the attack.
Whilst shooting think of nothing else; brace the whole of the body; have both hands on the stick; concentrate on your ring sight.
INITIATIVE, AGGRESSION, AIR DISCIPLINE, and TEAM WORK are words that MEAN something in Air Fighting.
Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best.
Never fly straight and level for more than 30 seconds in the combat area.
Go in quickly - Punch Hard - Get out!
When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.
