Mentone 2014
Mentone 2014…I’ve been encouraging trike guys to join in the flying with all the PPCs, FWs, Helis, and Gyros. It’s the week after Oshkosh in Indiana. Lots of fun. This year they are planning a Pylon Race. I find this intriguing and would be very interested to see some trikes run the course to see how their times compare, with gyros and other trikes. Frankly, I’m not sure what type wing would win this. Fast wings turn big and steep and slow wings turn tight and fast, but are slow on the straights. Could be a medium speed trike would beat other trikes, depending on the course: Here’s an example of tight turns and a really slow wing:
