Hi Chuck!The British (and one of my flight instructors!) had a whole series of armcommands for formation flying. The key was giving the hand signal 3 timeswith the turn (etc.) starting on the 3rd signal. Work it out in your"briefing".Of course, it's possible to fly formation without a radio or hand signals-- I've done by forgetting to turn on my radio(!) in a C-150 -- all you dois fly your lead as a reference (& hope he remembers that your'e on hiswing as he turns to your side!!)
