Default RE: Full contact combat !

Well, I did it again....twice today ! Two mid-airs. The first one resulted in the other guys rudder getting knocked-off (I had no damage) and the 2nd one was rather dramatic. We hit full speed, about as head-on as you can get. Battle Axe VS. Battle Axe ! Knocked both of our wings clean off and we both lawn darted the fuselages. Given the severity of the crash both airplanes are repairable and mine is even ready to test-hop tomorrow.

Are mid-airs this common or is it me ?? Seems I'm having more mid-airs than cuts [X(] Are there any combat flying tips that you guys can give me to help hit the streamers VS. mid-air ? I'm not intentionally trying to hit the other guy - it just seems to happen suddenly. I'm starting to think were doing it wrong.... This is with only 3 planes in the air too - I cant image surviving with 5-6 planes fighting....
