Takeoff description
A very short take off on a rocky & dry ground. You need to take off facing the wing. This position won't take you directly to the landing spot, so you have to make sure the local dynamic wind will give you enough altitude. Ask the locals how to do it.
Pilot comments
People usually meet at the parking at around 5:30pm during summer. A very technical site.
