Title: funny idea...
Post by: Pooface on July 10, 2006, 11:21:29 AM
platano and i were discussing aerobatics in the TA today. it might be fun to get a group of skilled pilots together, who can fly in a proper formation, nice and close, and do a mini airshow in the TA some time :)

anyone up for it? :)

get all the airshow smoke out, and pull some cool maneuvers in different formations and stuff :)

10:30 can work, whatever time works best for the first 4 posted in here and the rest can make it when they can.

The old addige is true - Aerobatics are easy to do, but hard to do well.  We can start by just doing them and then work on doing them well.

One guy has to be chosen as lead and the rest follow in a echelon or finger 4.  If you get 6 people two should work as solo planes, ie opposing knife edge passes at center (tower), center crossing path breaks etc.

Every 15 or so mins everyone changes postions.  It would be cool to eventually do some of the 6 man team breaks as well.

Do you guys have time to try some session in afternoon, at more euro-friendly hours? Around 15:00/16:00? I'd really like to try some team aerobatics, sometimes I do solo displays offline, I'd like to try with someone else. :)
