Access notes
This separately published Cosmos point is retained as an operator-assigned tow/staging location, not an open road launch. Contact SDI/Corn Alps for the current road, launch end, tow queue, parking, weather hold, and retrieve instructions. The source parking coordinate is 44.9067,-94.8701; do not use it without current organizer confirmation.
Site rules
  • Use only through SDI/Corn Alps or the currently authorized tow operation and only on the road/direction assigned that day.
  • Meet current USHPA/rating, registration or day-access, tow-bridle, waiver, and check-in requirements.
  • Do not block a county road or place a tow line, wing, vehicle, or retrieve crew without operator traffic control.
  • Protect crops and private property and follow the organizer's landout/retrieve instructions.
  • Confirm current airspace, NOTAMs, TFRs, weather, surface, and emergency plan before flight.
Direction notes
No direction is supplied for this source point; the tow director assigns the current road and launch end.
Safety notes
  • No launch direction, road name, surface detail, or emergency procedure is published for this individual point.
  • Expect county-road traffic, ditches, wires, poles, crops, tow equipment, and strong flatland thermals.
  • The current Cosmos,US XC launch cluster is about 0.17 km east of this point, supporting current locality use but not independent access.
