What are you looking for, attitudes and power settings, rules of thumb, acronyms?

For starters, 45˚ steep turns at 270/280 KIAS: as you roll into the turn, pitch back until the top corner of the box (representing the aircraft nose) is just touching the bottom of the 5˚ pitch line, add a knob's worth of thrust, and she'll fly at 45˚ all day, on rails.

You just need to keep an eagle eye on the sky pointer to nail the 45˚, and on the pitch indicator to keep it just touching the bottom of the 5˚ line. The odd glance at the speed trend and adjust thrust accordingly.

What a beautiful ship to fly.
