So I've really been struggling with the flats. I always seem to lose them, even when I am offensive. 

 

I've been studying and trying to figure out why and my best guess is that I'm just poor on the stick. But I'm not sure how to get better.

 

Now I'm not departing flight during the flats. At least, not any more. But the biggest problem now is that when I reverse in the scissors, my nose drifts up and down, the AOA and slip indicator fluctuate like crazy and sometimes when I really screw-up, I feel the stall and have to ease up on the stick to keep from falling, which of course, increases my downrange travel which makes me lose.

 

I try to keep 15-19 AOA and 200 knots, and coordinate my turns, but again whenever I reverse, the slip and AOA indicators go crazy, my nose pitches up and down and I generally get pretty close to departing flight. 

 

Any advice? Thank you.

For the reversal I unload, start with rudder and add full lateral stick, when about reversed I load again. How is your technique? You might be pulling too much. Roll SAS off?

Might be an inertia-coupling thing.

 

When rolling with significant AoA on, you're rolling more along the aircraft's longitudinal axis than along the flight-path trajectory.

Hence after rolling 90° your AoA becomes Yaw.

 

So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
