at first, I was just flying around hoping to get lucky, I would get a few cuts but nothing that great then I got a few pointers from my combat buddys in so cal, so I started more on the pursuit, I would try to get the gecko eye thing going and try to find other planes and keep an eye on mine. that helped alot, I started getting more cuts. it became even more fun. I learned that when following somebody, anticipate there turn and be right there when they turn. learn how others fly, some people are very predictable but you can pick up a pattern on most people. another good way to get a cut is, when a guy is launching late, come around and get him just after he lanches, he is so focused on launching, he cant get evasive soon enough, and most of all, just have fun!

make sure you are comfortable enough with your plane that you can take your eyes off of it for a few seconds to try to find the other guys. a plane that is way to squirley, bad flying caracteristics or badly out of trim will definatley keep you out of the pursuit mode
