Hi guys,

I've designed and am producing a limited number of formation "gunsights". These are designed to measure extended trail distances accurately for improving formation flying and they're also fun for use when doing BFM.

They're designed around a CJ-6 but would be little different on a Yak. They're for a 33' wingspan with the sight mounted 22.5" from your eye. Outer ring is 400' in trail, 2nd ring is 800' in trail, third ring is 1200' in trail and inner ring is 2400' in trail.

They're made of lightweight resin from a 3D printer and I've been using mine just velcroed to the dash.

If you want one, they're $30 + Shipping, e-mail me at pete(at)tigersquadron.com

Pete, how high does the sight stand? We have a Garmin 295 mounted on the center aft edge of the glare shield which stand about 3" inches above it, but well clear of our forward line-of-sight over the engine cowl. Judging from the pictures you posted this should not be a problem because the sight is purposely directly in our line-of-sight. ...Blitz

Thanks, Pete. What position is your CJ's seat in when looking through the sight? Bottom, middle or top?
