Takeoff description

Easy E takeoff, grassy slope. Pass on the left of the oak with the windsock when launching. Pay special attention to the wind cheching the windsock on the antenna on the N takeoff. If the wind is from N, NE this takeoff is in rotor. With N, NE winds use the N takeoff. N takeoff (50 m northbound). Short, narrow and steep, a little intimidating, but looks worse than it actually is. Make sure your glider comes up cleanly before committing your launch.
