ght=0A=0ARV-10 Group,=0A=0AWe all know the RV-10 is great. I just thought I
would share something=0AI did with my -10 that reinforces that a bit. I fo
und myself in the=0Aright place at the right time to lead a formation of re
stored P-51's=0Aon a photo shoot flight over Colorado Springs (I know, brag
ging...). I=0Awas concerned that my plane (still without paint or wheel pan
ts) could=0Amaintain sufficient speed to keep the Mustangs from falling fro
m the=0Asky. As it turns out it worked great.=0A=0AI had about 150 KIAS at
8,500' when I met the 2 ship 180 degrees out=0Aover our rejoin point. I sla
pped on a monster 2.5G break turn (which=0Asadly almost put my camera man o
ut) to get on their 6. I then=0Amaneuvered the formation into a 3 ship eche
lon for our photo shoot. I=0Awas able to keep about 130 KIAS in level fligh
t, with everything I=0Acould get out of my plane (2500 RPM, rich). It was A
ugust and the=0Aengine was getting a bit hot, I played with the mixture to
keep the=0Aoil and CHT in the green/yellow. The Mustang pilot said this was
OK,=0Abut a bit mushy for him. It was interesting that the turbulence comi
ng=0Aoff the mountains was knocking the RV-10 around as the -51's were=0Acr
uising nice and smooth. Another thing is how big that 11' foot=0Adiameter p
rop looks when it is swinging that close to my little plane=0A(I'm used to
close formation with pointy nosed airplanes).=0A=0AThe attached photos say
it all.The RV-10 provided great visibility for=0Aboth me and my friend with
the camera in the back. What a great=0Aexperience. (I also attached a phot

. There was a camera in #3, but=0AI still have gotten that picture of N312J

I have an 80% built tailcone for sale. I am asking $3,000. This is a great
jump start. The horizontal stabilizer and elevators are complete, the
vertical fin and rudder are finished. I am located in Florida and would
prefer someone that is able to pick up the project. A few images are
available at the link below. Contact info below. - Steve
