You better prepare yourself for those moments when the sh*t hits the fan and you have a red on your tail down low without speed.

Besides, there is a lot of good, old fashioned "fun" involved when successfully turning the tables in such a situation.

99% of the time you've got in to that situation because you've made mistake.

make less mistakes and you'll find you spend less and less time performing crazy energy wasting manoeuvres on the deck in the vain hope that you get away.

If you haven't wasted all your altitude and speed and you get bounced you can then trade it in for speed and bug out to fly another day.

Glad you enjoy what you are doing, just saying that the best way to avoid such a situation is not to get into it in the first place.
