Thumbs up Really nice, detailed write-up

Thanks for sharing your article and the photo of all RV models in one formation was awesome.

Well, Larry, some of us put them in to mystify you! Are you saying that the rotating friction lock (Cessna style) is better? To each their own. What I wouldn't care for is that monster black knob that Van's sells. I don't like the idea of no lock, and I don't like the friction locks.

I made a delrin and metal clip which holds the button in for the purpose of formation flying. One of these years I'll get to the clinic. Meanwhile, I'll just go on the training my mentor gives me (former Top Gun instructor).

Louise - great write ups!
