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.
