Takeoff description
Take off is possible right over the water station. The best solution is nevertheless to take off from the lawn at the end of the street, beneath the trees. This avoids taking off with side wind.
Rules and notes
In this area there aren't any airspace restrictions. Please check the swiss DABS/NOTAM anyway at http://www.skybriefing.ch, before taking off. In this area there are many restriction due to wildlife protection. Please DO NOT land or takeoff outside of the indicated spots.
Pilot comments
This spot works better for late hours (depending on the season). Best takeoff time between april and august is after 15 anyway. By low wind conditions it is also possible to land in Cebbia, Mesocco, but you normally do not need it as in summer the left flank of the mountain is ALWAYS pulling you up :) Please only land there by low wind conditions! Landing there with 20kmh headwind leads you to a potentially very dangerous lee side landing! By normal conditions (max 10kmh headwind), there should be no problem, though. If you fly direction south (see Brion in photos) after takeoff be careful of the south wind. It's flyable but sometimes it gets bumpy. This landing spot is lee side of the little hill in front of it.
