Fellow Listers C
A while back I saw cockpit mirrors listed on the internet for the use of formation flying that worked in the Yak 52. Anyone know of these and wonder how or if it would adapt to the Yak 55M?
Thanks in advance for any info.

That bees me that advertised. I pulled my ad off Barnstormers because I ran out of old new stock. I do have a a new mirror prototype up and working but the mount fabrication is labor-intensive and will drive up the cost. In between all my other projects I'm trying to engineer a cheaper solution. My Engineering Soul is that of the Minimalist, an old school view that has fallen out of favor in modern times. Meanwhile I have the suction cup mirror, not as elegant but it works one flight at a time ... and it's cheap.
Most of my intellectual energy has been an upgrade to the auto plug conversion, it's a new boost coil cable setup and wiring back plate for each magneto that seals out "goop" and cleans up the snakes nest of wires going into each mag. Sourcing the components consumes more effort that the concept phase.
However my main problem seems to be that each day's effort seems to come to an abrupt halt at Happy Hour. So goes the life of an old Jarhead, still headed down to the club after duty....

In the T34C we flew with them all the time, very simple installation, but I never used them for formation, only for fighting wing, basically for checking six. Only real formation aspect would be a straight ahead rejoin to make sure he isn't going to run up your ass without you knowing it.

That is "Formation Mirrors", not Cockpit Mirrors. Even though, yes, they are in the cockpit. The mirrors I sell (sold) are Wide Angle type and allow the user to look at Lead while seeing one's own wingman and/or whomever is flying in the slot at the same time.
For Lead, both wingman can be seen in their place (of course!) while scanning for traffic. You can also monitor the progress of someone crossing over as well. Have you ever wondered, Where did that guy go? With the mirrors you can plainly see when someone gets locked in the wing wash.
Did I mention that the GIB can be watched as well? All this for a paltry sum, but wait there's more.....

Hi Smash C
Your right. I don't plan on using them for formation actually. That is just how they were advertised C so I thought it would help jog someone's memory. What they might be good for is point rolls on the vertical. Depending on your techniques of course.
Best regards C
