Just a couple more questions if i may...

When turning in a dogfight, i tend to lower the throttle - is this a mistake? Or Should full throttle be used?

In regards to the rudder - is it best to minimise its use for extremely sharpe turns or should every turn have a touch of rudder? - ( i
thought maybe its use caused more resistance and thus, a loss in airspeed)

As for throttle, it's like I said, keep it in relation to your oponent's speed(don't go so fast that you overshoot and do go so slow that you lose him).

As for the rudder question, tight turns kills airspeed anyway. The rudder contributes just a little bit.
