Safety notes
  • Very easy to notice the launch site from the city. The take-off is short and very risky. As there is no space for corrections, the place is not suitable for beginners. It offers an splendid view of the valley and it is located just a few kilometers from the highest point of the state. Ridge lift and thermals in the beautifull valleys. Largely unexplored flying site due to lack of local pilots. Excelent conditions for XC. There is a lot of landing sites in all directions. Please keep the gates closed at all times and everything clean.
