I have found using rubber bands the best weapon in a turning fight and if someone gets on your six shooting darts do not turn hard make a shallow turn that will not open your wing up to your opponent to much and use boost in your turn

I found out the hard way that rubberbands can be your friend. I don't know who I was playing in the fortress but he/she was flying the bomber toward the corner with the 3 flashlights and he was flying toward the outside way just "wasting his rubberbands " and dang if they didn't bounce off the wall and kill me. What kind of cheat was he using. Ha ha. It was like now what do I do with that? Then I started realizing that even a miss can come back do some damage. Hmmmm....  I also like when I'm in "the maze" and in loading up on pencils,rubberbands and spit balls that if the other person flies to load up on firecrackers and spitballs the if you shoot a couple pencils they hit the wall and damage them a little from the other side of the wall.  Maybe not completely but it throws them sometimes. Oh yeah. I almost forgot to say that you can catch firecrackers that somebody else already dropped... If you are REAL fast.... Heh heh heh.....

So to catch fire crackers you just try to run fast enough into them?

People are starting to make me mad with the quad. One thing is hovering behind you while you are choosing your plane and pelleting you, another is hovering over pencils in training level and just rotating to aim, one that I don't like but is reasonable is taking all the health when your health is full. I can put up a fight with a biplane though. I wish the quad had a better weakness than just hard to learn to control. However nothing can do but deal with it so oh well.

@ EZ - Not sure if your joking or not but just in case "NO" you can't catch the fire cracker/bombs  :) Coyotehuntr was having you on  ;D
Best way to die quickly is to run into the damn things lol

People are starting to make me mad with the quad. One thing is hovering behind you while you are choosing your plane and pelleting you, another is hovering over pencils in training level and just rotating to aim, one that I don't like but is reasonable is taking all the health when your health is full. I can put up a fight with a biplane though. I wish the quad had a better weakness than just hard to learn to control. However nothing can do but deal with it so oh well.

The hovering behind and shooting is bad form but in a previous update it changed so when picking your plane if someone shoots at you, you don't get any damage. But you only have 15 seconds to choose your plane and then it auto launches.

There is a large thread all about the Quadro you should have a look. Brian the developer has listened to all the comments from this forum and is going to make the Quadro not as strong in the next update as it's too hard to beat.

To stop a Quadro hovering in one place what I do is load up on the bombs and drop it right on top of them and all around the area they hover in  :) They move away very quickly  ;) Same for the health coins. If you keep missing them or to stop the other players coming back to grab them drop a heap of bombs over the area and then the other planes can't go near it while the bombs are slowly floating down ready to rain death on anyone who goes close  ;D

Hope this helps you a bit. I'm no expert and everyone has different strategies but the more you play and try different things out the better you will become

See you out there

I love to fly into the buckets with the Tiberon but you gotta be able to handle yourself.  The ones standing up are real tough to get into and out but it's possible and great for giving someone the slip.

What is everyone's opinion, which is better? The Tiberon or the Balsa?

Stn-jpn, well the main thing is when in sandbox and a quad hovers behind you, shots a pencil then BAM! You get knocked right into a cinder block. I guess to try to get you to quit and get an easy 3500points

My main stragey is to do a somewhat Split-S toward an attacking aircraft using boost, I only get hit
15 % of the time using that maneuver.

@ EZ - What the hell is a Split- S maneuver? Sounds very impressive

It is a maneuver used in WWII. A plane would roll inverted, then pull on the stick and be flying the opposite direction. However in Air Wings you can only
fly sideways.

This is a rough diagram of it. It's like a vertical U-turn.
