Go up, fly your ship, do whatever works best for your bird after testing things out yourself. If it worked for butler or AJ or Moffat, they must have known something they discovered with their particular ship. My 1-26 doesnt care all that much but I do have the advantage of being able to work the core of the core while most others dont have the turn radius to get and stay in there unless they are flying minden or marfa thermals.
