Logistics


Hotel - Do not wait until the last minute to reserve your room!
Tell the desk person you’re from Red Star for our special rate which EXPIRES on April 30th.

Candlewood Suites
RPA Group rate is $89 plus tax per night. 
6046 East Crossroads Blvd. Loveland, Colorado 80538 
970.667.5444
(we can take breakfast next door...)

I have toured the hotel, and it seems a great value - I took these pics...




Rental Car - we should have enough transportation but,
Enterprise, Avis and Hertz (online reservations) will bring a car to the airport if you want a rental.  You can hand the keys to the FBO on Sunday and it should all work out.  FBO suggests Enterprise because they have a "contract" with them (no discount that I can find though).

Formation Training Requirements!


For non-FAST patched pilots: It is a requirement for participation as a pilot at this clinic that you possess a copy of and have studied the RPA Formation Manual (v6.0 now in the website library).  You are also required to view the 55 minute RPA Wing Ground School Video online, prior to attending the clinic, click here for the Video: https://youtu.be/_zuHAhTQDVM
