Takeoff description
This takeoff can be challenging and in general this is considered to be an IPP3 takeoff! This is because the wind-conditions. The take off is on en edge of a cliff, and the wind can be turbulent at the take off. An alternative take off can be found to the right of the normal take off. This has limits on the wind direction, but it quite a bit easier. If uncertain, please contact the local club for more information
