You've inspired me, sir.

Oh good, I'm useful! I watched the whole thing; it was great.

I'd turn down the max AoA on the Hellblade, not the steer limiter. You could increase the AoA on the Lightning for sure. I use the CorrectCoL mod to help me judge what an appropriate AoA is. I generally put the limit at where the L/D ratio starts to decline from maximum, so it doesn't bleed too much speed during turns.

Then I crank up the Steer Factor until the plane wobbles, and increase the Damper until the wobble stops. I find my planes tend to roll really hard and keep rolling, so I cut my roll surfaces down to 20-50%. What will limit you after tuning the AoA and Steer Factor is Max G.

Sweet!  That was the first serious dogfight I made, I've messed with the pilots a little but not much before hand.  Thanks for the tips.  I've got the hell talon vs thunderbolt coming up and the Talon handles similar to the Hell Blade, Just bigger.  Your advice will go a long way.
