Last summer FFI posted the EZ Supplement on its website. This is the guideline on how to fly formation to FFI standard in Rutan LongEzs, Varieze’s and other Rutan designs. Since the population of Rutan designs has dimished in the past few decades there are less of us out there to fly with but the desire is there. We hope to put together a 50 plane formation on the 50th anniversary of the Varieze in 2025. Though that seems like a lot of time we have a lot of work to do. I’m hoping we can join up (excuse the pun) with other FFI flyers and expand the opportunities for those EZ drivers looking for a way to learn safe formation skills and ultimately earn their FFI cards. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated on our getting together with Mooney’s and doing sine flying.
Sincerely,
