Low Speed Yo YoAnother combat situation which can arise is a stalemate in either a tail chase or a turning match. To break the stalemate, a lowspeedyoyo is used. This is based on the age-old concept of trading height for speed. If a pursuer finds that he is unable to close towithin shooting range in straight flight, he can gain extra speed in a shallow dive. This will allow him to close the horizontaldistance and takes him into his opponent's blind spot at six o'clock low. When a suitable position and overtaking speed have beenattained, the pursuer can pull up and attack. The counter? Keep a good lookout behind!The most widely used variant of the low speed yoyo is used in a turning fight to break a stalemate caused by lack of overtake.Dropping his nose to the inside of the turn, the pursuer can cut across the circle.● Site Design © 2000-2005 ● Contact Us ● http://www.combataircraft.com/file:///G|/DATAS/RvE/Training%20Manual/Low%20Speed%20Yo%20Yo.htm05.08.2006 10:41:45
