Cool! Keep em coming 
I just pilfered this from someone on another board on a related subject:
Jets are a completely different style of flying than props. When flying them I've picked up a few tips:
Throttle up too quickly, or you will cause a fire (no brainer). Throttle down too quickly and your engine will die. When going slowly (i.e. takeoff) I set the throttle no higher than 80% (no smoke or blue flame is visible). I keep brakes on until I get to 80% power, then roll out without flaps, and add them only right before I rotate. Only once I achieve about 500 kts I put in 100%. At these speeds there is sufficient cooling of the engines. Once in a dogfight I never go below 600kts (it should be 700, but I'm a lazy flier). This is especially vital for the LaGG. If you slow down, you will not likely get that speed again, which is a death note in dogfights. Speed will protect you in more ways than one. Of course, it keeps your e up, and makes you hard to catch, but it also keeps any engine fires out (no need to bail from your 262 just yet). I always use a lot of down trim, and I never use the elevators in a turn. I just roll, and the plane will turn naturally with its own lift without loosing much E. Sometimes without enough trim I even push down to keep the turn wider. This is especially vital for the Go-229. If you pull at all above 700, say goodbye to your wings.

I need all the help I can get :oops: I will try all this out and report what works for me or not.
