Flew an RV Grin!

[Outflyn]

I thought I would fly somewhere more constructive then just flying in circles today. OK well, I guess I did just fly in circles, but at least I got a big RV Grin out of it!

I hope you all get a smile out of it.

I have tried researching this and can't find information on how a geometric pattern is flown. Can pattern be inserted into ForeFlight? Do you use autopilot to fly the prescribed shape?

Interesting....

I used Foreflight to create the flight plan, uploaded it to my Skyview and let the autopilot fly the route. If you zoom in on the FlightAware path you will see the circles are a series of short straight segments. Foreflight allows you to move waypoints around once you’ve plotted your course to make adjustments. This gives you a chance to tweak it to the shapes you want. I think I had over a hundred waypoints in this simple flight plan. Hope that helps.
