Default What to do with old geezer....

...make him lead!

Had good time flying with Oly yesterday. Also found out it is good technique to put airplane with FP prop in lead. Easy for CS prop airplane to maintain position.

Are you signed up for the KC Formation Clinic?
I am not Charlie.

This was local with Oly who is active wth KC group and likes to practice. It was fun but I am too old for serious formation flying. The box gets smaller whether you like it or not.

Also, I'd need to upgrade to CS prop, I like the airplane as is with Catto.

Default Geezers Rule

Dave,

I had fun as well, too bad we don't have more RVs here at Spirit. With John busy flying his Sonex Jet it looks like it's you, me & Bill for a while. You are a good lead with smooth control inputs and I will fly with you anytime. Now that I can bribe you with Deschutes Black Butte Porter after flying maybe we can launch a formation sortie more often.

Oly
