      Len,
      Just hold on to it.  I do not need it until SNF.  I have been chasing down
      an oil leak on the 170, finally found it and hope to be flying next weekend
      to Ocracoke if it is still on.
      
      Thanks,
      Mike
      
      
      Mike ... I have that other hat for you ... had it in my plane for the past
      
      several weeks thinking I would see you at one of the events ... maybe I
      need to
       just mail it ???

      Hey:
      
      going to Lancaster PA tomorrow for a repitch and dynamic balance of my 72CM series
      fixed pitch Sensenich.  Was wondering what pitch has served everyone best
      on the 6 or 6A airframe with 160 hp?
      
      I started out with a 150 hp Lyc and ordered the 76 inch pitch prop.  This worked
      okay until I upped the ponies to 160; now I hit redline far too easily in cruise.
      I get 2230 static rpm at my 1000 ft MSL home strip and can exceed 2600
      rpm in level flight at 8000 feet.
      
      IIRC, Ed Z at Sensenich once looked over some in-flight numbers I collected and
      recommended adding 2-3 inches of pitch, but it was a long while back.  Since
      I only want to drop this $450 once :-) I thought I'd poll the field and see what
      pitch was working for others.
      
      I'm sure anything we do tomorrow will be an improvement, at the expense of climb
      performance, but I don't want to over- or under-do it.  I'm looking to keep
      at least 2100 rpm static and be able to firewall it at 8000 level without breaking
      2600 rpm redline.  I know a lot depends on actual airframe drag, rigging,
      and actual engine output.  Still, asking stuff liike this is free, and fun :-)
      
      -Stormy

      I am working on a Formation Manual of my own.  Similar to THUH book but 
      hopefully better written and easier to understand.  I need some RV type 
      specific information.
      
      What are you guys using as the two points to line up with when in the 45 
      degree angle-off position?
      
      In THUH book type specific information is given for some aircraft.  What 
      would be the type specific information you guys are using for RV's?
      
      For formation takeoffs and landings what would be the differences between 
      nose wheel aircraft and tail wheel aircraft?
      
      Can we develop procedures suitable for both types?

      spinner & aileron hinge (outside),...don't have a
      thought on t.o.s and ldgs. but tricycles need greater
      turning radius on taxi and turns.

      Steve,
      
      I would recommend attending one of the clinics that are given by Mike
      Stewart (Flight Lead, Team RV) and Stu McCurdy (Flight Lead, Flacon Flight,
      Check Pilot and Originator of the Program for GA (RV focused) and obtainer
      of the blessings from the FAA. 
      
      They have detailed presentations that cover all of this and it is
      consistent.
      
      This way you are not re-inventing the wheel.
      
      I have a variety of notes and presentations that several people have put
      together over time and I must say that Mike's current stuff it THE BEST for
      the RV series of any I have seen.
      ---------------------------------
      
      Now, to respond to you question ...
      
      We align the outside aileron hinge to prop spinner. We stay on that line no
      matter how far out. That puts you on a line but you will eventually need to
      know "how close in" on the line you come. That reference is the trailing
      edge of the rudder and the trailing edge of the far-side elevator. There is
      a certain amount of the elevator you want everyone to see so that there is
      consistent (symmetric) spacing. This is better shown than talked about.
      
      I don't recall anything being discussed about nosewheel vs tailwhee. For
      example, Mike leads in an RV6A (he's working on a Super 8) and Stu leads in
      an RV8. I know that in the taxi, you can see a lot better in the "A" and
      that the turn radius is just a little bit less. But those things are things
      you get used to either as a wingman or as a lead.
      ---------------------------------
      
      Third, please come down **anytime** and join us at our next practice and I
      invite you to take a ride with me. That way you can see it first hand. Ken
      and I practice every week (weather permitting) and often get in a practice
      with Len and Bill a few times a month.
      
      If you have any other questions, please feel free to call. By the way, there
      is a formation clinic being held in KPKB in June I think (I plan to attend)
      and although the clinic is full, it would be a good place to go an take a
      ride-along with one of us.

      Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it.  Just shipped the prop back for
      its finally tuning and am hoping it will get done before Sun & Fun but no
      chance by April 2.  Have to make it next time

      Hi Steve,
      If I may......not sure of your experience level regarding RV's or Formation 
      Flying in general.....but......although your enthusiasm/committment is 
      appreciated, with respect.....writing 'your own' formation document is not a good
      idea.
      
      A little background......'us' RV/Bonanza/Grumman/Whatever civilian formation 
      pilots ALL fly by the SAME standards. Formation Flying Incorporated 
      (FFI......driven by Stu 'Falcon' McCurdy) is the backbone of the organization.
      It's 
      important that we continue to fly by the SAME standards for obvious reasons. I
      
      suppose anyone could hop in and make up their own rules of how 'they' want to fly
      
      fingertip, or 'their' version of an overhead break, or this is how 'we' do a 
      section landing.......the problem comes when you mix 'their version' of 
      formation flying with the rest of the formation community. Safety falls by the
      
      wayside and someone WILL get hurt. EVERYONE flying formation needs to fly by the
      
      SAME set of standards and rules. Again....the above is just a very brief 
      explanation of why the standards are SO important for ALL of us to follow.
      
      I can fly ANYWHERE in the country at ANY airshow or in ANY backyard.....if 
      another pilot holds a current FFI formation Wingman/Flight Lead card I will fly
      
      with them in a heartbeat and have NO RESERVATIONS about flying up close and 
      personal formation with them. Why??? Because they were TRAINED from the SAME 
      standards as the rest of us. Do I want to fly with folks that make up their own
      
      rules and 'do it' their own way.......no thank you sir.
      
      With that said....you are correct in that 'Thuh Book' is not specific to RV's 
      in general. Good timing....help is on the way :
      ). FFI has recently sent out 
      a 'supplement' to go along with 'Thuh Book' that is specific to RV's. The 
      draft document was recently reviewed by FFI members from around the country and
      
      the finished product should be available shortly. This supplement does not 'take
      
      away' from the standards we adhere to....but adds the info you are seeking 
      which is specific to RV's. Also, forthcoming will be a 'Formation Flying Inc' 
      website that will include all the necessary training 
      materials/documents/etc.....including info that is.....again.....specific to RV's.
      
      In the mean time.....I recommend zipping over to the links section of Mike 
      Stewarts website where you can find information on RV formation flying that Team
      
      RV teaches around the country....using 'Thuh Book' as the STANDARD.
      
      Here's a link, scroll down to 'Formation Flying':
      
      http://www2.mstewart.net:8080/michael/rv/Links/links.htm
      
      
      This is the same information that we use for training within our Ohio Valley 
      RVators Group.
      
      Oh yea, we're hosting an RV formation clinic here in Ohio on June 10,11,12. 
      We are currently 'booked' with about 45-50 RV's but the standby list is very 
      short.....I'm sure there will be an opening or two if you were 
      interested.......a BUNCH of our SERV buds are already signed up!!
      
      Hope this helps.....any questions fire away!

      I am working on a Formation Manual of my own.  Similar to THUH book but 
      hopefully better written and easier to understand.  I need some RV type 
      specific information.
      
      What are you guys using as the two points to line up with when in the 45 
      degree angle-off position?
      
      In THUH book type specific information is given for some aircraft.  What 
      would be the type specific information you guys are using for RV's?
      
      For formation takeoffs and landings what would be the differences between 
      nose wheel aircraft and tail wheel aircraft?
      
      Can we develop procedures suitable for both types?

      Hi Rick,
      
      Thanks for your input and suggestions.  When I say writing my own manual, I 
      don't mean making up my own rules.  Basically, all I am doing is putting the 
      old information from THUH book, Team RV and Mooney together in a clear, more 
      concise method.  I'm really doing it as more of a learning tool.
      
      In that regard, any information that is RV type specific information would 
      be greatly appreciated.

      Steve, we can keep you busy in retirement... a few RVs in the Charlotte area
      still under construction ;)
      
      
      PS.  Regarding formation stuff.. something that might need to be addressed
      is FP vs. C/S props  (especially after the break).  What I noticed one time
      I went with the guys -- this is an area that would need more attention.

      Larry: Ocracoke is awash in B&B and other lodging opportunities. We have
      stayed at the Captain's Landing most recently, also at Blackbeard's motel
      many centuries ago...  Currently we are thinking of spending just the day
      there Sat. because of other commitments at church on easter, tho we might
      spend Friday night there before the lunch, or at Washington, NC with friends
      there before heading over to the Outer Banks.  I wonder who else is planning
      to go...?

      I am planning to go if the weather is decent. I do remember 
      that there are no night operations permitted. I have a two-
      man tent that I might try out, or would consider staying at a 
      hotel, etc.

      Pam is coming with me, so a B & B is probably going to be required.  I'll
      look into them....
