I was still joining up. Blow me.
You look like a little peanut in that cockpit ... where's this "big guy" that can't fit that I always hear about ... ???
"Sunrise" ... ??? It comes fast in South Texas. When did you guys launch-y ... ???
If that's the case, you should be right wing down and about 5 G's on it to arrest the closure. Otherwise you're taking to long. :icon_tong

On a runner? Nah, I like not pink-sheeting solos.

0730 local takeoff. Sunrise 0728L.
I'm mostly legs. My head's about even with the canopy breakers in the seat. That, and I'm wide.
My first STUD-ACM hop was pure shit -- I learned in da' plane -- not off the 8.5X11 sheets of the syllabus -- and I never COULD get that "ACM EGG" down from a piece of paper .... as such, I almost blew the brief right out the window ... BUT:
After a so-so hop .... on the fast running rdvs join-up, I used this "technique" to arrest a 5000000+ KIAS closure rate and slid right into position on the lead. Perfect.
My backseat Instructor shouted: "GOOD MOVE!!!" so loud I could hear it w/out the ICS.
It -- my non-standard, non-FTI, Fleet-style rdvs "technique" so impressed my F-8 Driver Instructor that he let me off the hook and gave me one below and one above for a 3.0 hop ...

AND then you shot your prop off shooting at the towed banner right?
I'm sure it wasn't all your fault since they were still experimenting with armor prop plating and the interrupter synchronization gear.

Ouch...that sounds like my kid wanting to know whether Orville or Wilbur was my primary flight instructor.
