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 o of my plane over Maine.) You can=0Asee my tail/wingtip in a couple photos . There was a camera in #3, but=0AI still have gotten that picture of N312J E next to "Little Horse".=0A=0AHappy Holidays. Happy Flying!=0A=0A-Jim=0AN3 12JE ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:48:35 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: RV-10 Tail kit for sale From: "Stephen Blank,DDS" I have an 80% built tailcone for sale.
