Howdy, fellow `coupers. All the 14 years I owned the Cessna 150, I never flew near any one. Within a month after acquiring an Ercoupe, I was Opal Walkers' wingman. As such, I am interested in more on this thread. Three areas:
* Formation takeoff. The first shot out, I lost sight of lead! We did get up with one another, but it was not the best practice. Perhaps some guidence, like declare a "flight of two" to the tower and take the runway toghther, from this list. * Cruise. I once read about a cockpit drill that one has to accomplish before embarking on formation training. One MUST be able to find and manipulate EVERY control without looking. Reason is that you must keep your eye on lead. Any more insights? * Formation landing. Some good discussion here, but could still use more. Sure hope this thread goes on - thanx in advance. Percy
