Pardon my ignorance here since I never fly formation=2C but when a group en
ters a towered field only one of the pilots is communicating and the others
in the formation or group follow their prescribed and pre-arranged sequenc
e=2C right? So does that mean that if transponder is required=2C only one
of the aircraft in the group would be required to have one?

Normally only the lead aircraft has their transponder on, everyone else on
standby. Otherwise ATC gets alerts for the planes being too close. So, if
you had no transponder, you couldn't be lead - but otherwise I don't see a
problem. Although if you were within the Mode C veil, I wouldn't advertis
e that you don't have a transponder at all.
My 2 cents
Cheers

I have the opportunity to place my Pitot system inside the Wing.Previosly
it ran down the side and up the strut.
Can I use flexible vinyl tube, or is it better to use the old metal tube
provided?

I've got flexible tube and it works fine. My only recommendation would be to
make the pitot tube replaceable through an inspection hole. Mine was, but just
barely. Using a 1/4" hex head instead of a #8 phillips would have saved HOURS!

On the top of my horizontal stabilizer it got scuffed on one edge of the
top. It did not tear the ceconite fabric glued to the wood but it is
scratched and the paint is scratched away. How should I treat the fabric?
just paint it? or do something to prepare it before painting?

Kinda what I thought. So with some planning, a group could fly with one of the
airplanes having xpdr and the tag-a-longs should be OK. In fact, the guy with
xpdr could "share expenses" by collecting beer money for escorting "negative
xpdr" compadres in and out of the verboten airspace ;o)

Steve; the ram air tubing on Scout, which is run inside the wing from the pitot
location on the jury strut, looks to be standard "aquarium hose" clear vinyl.
Unless I ran the math wrong, stagnation air pressure at Vne of 95 MPH is going
to be less than 1/4 psi, so it's not like the tubing is going to be under a
lot of pressure. That said, you can see that the ASI depends on measuring very
small differences in pressure, so the connections should be reasonably tight
or you'll have errors in the ASI readout. On my airplane, Corky slid the vinyl
tubing over the ends of the metal pitot and static tubes and then secured
them with safety wire snugged up to clamp the plastic tubing onto the metallic
tubing.

Steve; my opinion only. If you can see that the fabric has not worn through, all
you should need to do is clean it up and then build it back up as recommended
for the Ceconite system. At least put the silver or UV blocker on the area
before touching up the color coat.
If the fabric weave is not intact, apply a fabric patch.
