Can anyone tell me on how do I grab the flag in capture the flag games? Do I have to grab it down low or can I get it anywhere in the light beam ? I have flown thru the beam about a hundred times and have never grabed it. I am starting to think maybe its a game glitch. The flag itself is real low but the light beam is high. 
Mayday-
CTF is quietly becoming my new favorite. (Mainly because I can grab the flag with my tank after I get shot down.)
Yes indeed, you need to actually touch the flag to pick it up. Hard to do under fire, but oh so satisfying.
You must then return the flag to your base while your flag is on it's starting spot. Taxi the captured flag over the starting spot to win the game.
Fun Fact: After shooting down an opponent with the flag, they will drop it. If you fly through it, you will return it to your base automatically. If your teammate had the captured flag and dropped it, you can catch it in the air and continue on with the flag.
This is a cool feature of the game that allows for seamless continuation of the flag's progress if you have the skills.
I just got lucky a couple of times...
