My experience can be summarized with the following statement - be very =
very careful and be very well briefed.=20
I have only flown my 360 in formation with Yak 52's and CJ-6 with the =
360 and 400 HP engines. The speed differences, turning radiuses and =
accelerations and deceleration are all quite dramatic which make it =
harder than normal. It really wasn't much fun to be blunt.=20
I avoided the formation landing since they are all very slow and tight =
in the pattern and stop very quickly once planted. Figured it just was a =
bad idea or an accident waiting to happen for me anyway. I used to do a =
formation air show routine in a T-34 when I was younger and we took and =
landed in formation - it was a breeze since they were identical =
airplanes.=20
The good news was that you could stay on your post easily since you were =
running 50% power most of the time so maneuvering was easy. Lastly their =
fat, low wing loading planes didn't handle the turbulence like ours do, =
so it added to the circus. You don't realize how well you slice through =
turbulence until fly along side a symmetric winged Yak or even a fat =
bottom winged Yak. Made me appreciate our little rockets even more.

I suspect flying with RV's would fair better - probably a lot better.

Be very careful is all I can say.

LNC2 - 150 hours new and still all good
