Is Mentone still on? I have not seen any new info here on the forum.
On the PRA webpage, 'click here to register' is not working I managed to get to registration by clicking on 'maps and directions'

Two of my best former gyro students will be "flying in", hopefully Thursday evening (today). One in an MTO Sport and the other in a Magni M-16. They will be tired and dehydrated so take good care of them for me. It's over a 417 NM trip for them one way.
Update: Just got word they had some ADM to do. Storm too big in their way so they are returning home. Always a good choice.
Today was very comfortable with clouds and reasonable temps. Perfect for avoiding sunburn. There was lots of fun flying to watch late in the day, with a couple Sport Copters, a Dominator and Denis's black machine playing tag over the corn. Quantity is down this year, but quality is high!
The Sport Copter website says she is ten feet tall.
The airport manager measured the hangar door at 10 feet 3 inches and it was about an inch too short.
