do you have a stick with rudder control on it ? to be honest, unless you are getting HARD Core about it, I would go with a twist stick before I went for the petals I used to have a set, and they did not work the way I thought they would, and in the end, most times, I would be using the wrong rudder push, for what I wanted to be doing which, yes, the rudder will help in your aiming (but remember, the faster you are going. the less effect your rudder will have) and if you are like me, the rudder petals will hurt you more then help, as you will have to THINK about what you are doing or trying to do, instead of just knowing what to do, once everything gets to be a reflex or instink, then you have it made (I used to fly online in a online sim, I used to get into fights with one of the best Sissor guys in the game, and he used to scream that I must be cheating, as nobody could beat him, once he got into a Sissor fight (but he knew me, so it was more a joke, then a complaint), once I stopped and thought about it, it took me a week to work out what I was doing when I fought him, to think out the moves, I was making and when and why, once I worked it out, we were shocked, most people in a Sissors, when the lead guy is in a right bank, you will be in a bank left and trying to turn into them, but by they time they get close, the lead guy is banking left and it starts all over, and you just keep crisscrossing each other, until one guy stalls out, for me, instead of doing the bank to follow his bank, I would turn it into a full roll, and most times, that would put me onto his tail, long story, short, by reflex I was beating him at what he was doing, with out thinking about what or why I was doing it) soooooo try a stick rudder first, if the helps, but not as much as you want or think it should, then try the petals (hopefully you are in a area, where you can try them out first, as most of the good ones, cost alot)
