Any tips for getting someone off your six?

Have to be careful with that last tactic. If the guy behind you is alert you will get annihilated

Flying the scissors works better when it comes to making the other guy overshoot, if your planes has a good roll rate, but again you have to make sure you don't start manoeuvring too early or you will give your opponent an easy shot.
