Default Formation Clinic - Few slots available.

We have six slots available for the NC Formation Clinic. I'm going to cut off registration at 40. If you are interested in expanding your flying skills and having a rewarding weekend with some of the best pilots in the business, sign up HERE.

Once you join the group, go to the DATABASE page and fill in the appropriate information.

Guarantee: If you don't find that formation flying is the most challenging, rewarding and fun flying you have ever done I'll give you back the money we charge for instruction. All $0.00 of it!

Default Formation Clinic

Ron,

I would love to fly over from Texas and participate but I have an RV12 and can't get the Brownwood group to do it unless I come up with 2 or 3 more "slow" RV12's. I ave 115kts and of course can fly 120. I had an RV6 flying formation off my wing just last night and said the speed was fine...in fact it was his normal manuevering speed so he says. Anyway, if you know of any RV12's that want to participate, let me know.

Thanks

You heard the man! Any more RV12 pilots out there that want to commit formation? I know you can formate with dissimilar airplanes, but it's not a good idea to mix types when learning the basics. I really don't want to mix 12's with the other RV's at the clinic but I hear it just takes two to make a formation. I was hoping to get a flight of 4, but two will do. Any takers?

Pete and Larry,

You may be the first RV-12's to attend a formation clinic! Any others?

Ron,

Thanks for your encouragement. Think I'll wait until another one pops up here closer to home since Larry and I would only make a two-ship. I agree, a four-ship is the way to go. I know Larry well enough to know he will join up whatever we can work out. I know you work quite a bit with this type of training...if you happen to run across two more 12's that sound interested, please let us know, wherever you end up. Both Larry and I have been to Sun/Fun, OSH and other places with the 12 so we are comfortable traveling in them. Thanks again

Pete,

We still have a month before the clinic. If we can entice two more -12 pilots to attend would you and Larry make the trip? This could be the start of something big!

Of course we would. We've both been trying, believe me. Thanks!

I'd really like to attend but I don't have dual controls in my -8.
