"Indeed. While griffons are on a par with pegasi in terms of overall speed, latter are much more maneuvrable. You can take off, land and change directions midair in moments notice." Hippogriff notices unsteady flight of his friend and adds. "Try to swing your wings slower, but harder. Don't worry, inertia of your body will keep you in air while your wings are rising."

“Hmm, I guess that is true” he nods “Pegasi can do that easily. So in other words, I could use my body to outmaneuver a grifon chasing me, huh?” He listens to what you said and, a bit uncertainly at first, slows down his flapping and moves more of the wing, his flight stabilising “Well, that is different. However, could a pegasus fly this way?”
