Go to VR training and practice. I'm not a pilot so I can't really say anything.

Maybe these videos will help.

People pretend like the scythe is impossible to fly. All the ESF's require time and practice to fly. Trying flying with friends or near allies.

Learn to fly in a Reaver, flying in a scythe will feel like a cakewalk after that.

Well, Reaver is not called a 'flying blue brick' for no reason. Then again, it is also the most durable ESF out there, too.

It has the exact same HP as a Scythe or Mossie.

Then I have no explanation as to why it takes about 10-ish Hellfires to down a Scythe (and later tested with an ally, another Mosquito, too), but over a full clip (16) to take down a Reaver. I mean, even the Armor def module does not give you that much protection on its own.

Also, while that former thing might be subjective, the more objective point is, Reaver's weapons are better damage-wise, although lose considerable amount of punch over the range.
