ok just loaded it and am flying aimlessly through large hoops in the sky but not much else, what do I do , there doesnt seem to be any instruction or tips on forums.
please help

I believe you need to gain a certin amount of points... By flying through the hoops. its kind of a learning stage to get you use to the plane... Inside the hoops are blue Icons called stunts and they are through out the game and in some stages you need to get some stunts to get enough points to pass the level...

Hope that helps

Pull up the large map and fly through 10 stunt icons. They are marked by a yellow dot.
