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
