Safety notes
  • Strong thermals and XC possibilities.
  • Easy flight, although the biggest obstacle is to cross over one of the reservoir’s lake’s extensions, landing in front of the best local bar (on the other side).
  • Watch out for some side wind and to an infamous, dangerous rotor when flying low over the ramp area, with severe turbulence possibilities.
  • CBVL publishes site-specific drawbacks/hazards; review the linked federation page before launch.
Additional notes
Very beautiful place. Strong thermals and XC possibilities. Beautiful place surrounded by water. Easy flight, although the biggest obstacle is to cross over one of the reservoir’s lake’s extensions, landing in front of the best local bar (on the other side). Excellent place for maneuvers. Good Hotels, but it’s easy to rent a house, small ranch, etc. Watch out for some side wind and to an infamous, dangerous rotor when flying low over the ramp area, with severe turbulence possibilities.
