A lot of it will depend on the size of the mistake. If you end up 200 yards further out than you should on a maneuver, just turn and fix it. Otherwise, the next 3 maneuvers are going to look bad, as well as risking a crash. If its a slight mistake, then try to be smooth, but if it is really bad, then just fix it. Take the hit and go on. Much better than losing a plane or trying to be smooth and scoring badly on 4 or 5 straight maneuvers because you are too close or too far out,
