gsxrpilot Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 A couple of us went up for some formation practice this morning. It was 68° here in Colorado under a high overcast. Butter smooth air made for a fun practice session. If anyone would like to experience this type of flying, there is often a right seat open. We'd also like to add a third and forth to the formation. So reach out if interested. Getting ready to launch. 4
201er Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 How do you manage reduced power element takeoffs with normally aspirated Mooneys at such altitude?

If one is NA and the other is turbo, let the NA lead. They can go wide open and the turbo has power to spare. Second option is an interval rather than element T/O. 1
gsxrpilot Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Posted August 11, 2019 Runway was only 100 ft wide so we used a 5 sec interval take off. As @kpaul said, the NA plane in the lead and the turbo matches it.
