Message text All the above are good tips from great pilots. (esp 2.5 from gugliandalf )
Practice is the key. Get used to a couple of planes one v one, 2v2 etc. Remember some of the basics if you want - if you're not sure, extend and escape the shot (eg 16L3 in a dancer or some of the S3 manoevers in runners), dont get fired at without firing back, and best yet, get a tail and stay on it.
Also, try and think a move ahead, like chess. If I play a speed 1 manoever, next turn I can't do a speed 3. That also works for the enemy - if he's speed 3, he cannot do speed one and must therefore move at least two hexes (apart from 11R2 11L2 and restricted) Set 'em up and knock 'em down!
For multiplayers, try and join on the side of some good players / form a squadron. I learnt a lot from consistently watching some good pilots, flying alongside them, and occasionally challenging them.
Biggest tip though is just to have fun!
