A plane that goes where you point it and doesn't go off on it's own when you don't have your eyes on it. Keep it in your periphery while you track your opponent BUT at first just trying to stay around the furball will get you some lucky cuts at least. Just starting combat you should just have someone tow a streamer and try to cut it. Basic combat with two people try to stay on it with another plane eventually you will learn what they do standard and start anticipating it, then you can plan on having your plane in the area that the other guys plane will be in.

And yes, it does all start to slow down OR rather you will speed up.

And I come from a slightly different theology then Combatpigg where we were always told 'Forget about that stupid streamer on the end of your plane, show em nothing but prop.' When they're running from you they won't have a chance to get your streamer, course you've got to keep from overflying them and feeding them the whole dang thing.

HOR's with LA 15's will give you tons of easy flying combat with very little damage from midairs, problem is, was and is again with the SSC concept is someone always complains about needing to have bigger faster stronger airframes and the survivable easy flying HOR's turn into what the event is today, a slightly slower B class.

Build some HOR's per the plans with the lower power LA 15's and have a blast.
