Takeoff description

Launch is open and grassy with some rocks surrounded by bushes and low trees that are forgiving of launch failures - in terms of injury if not so much in terms of time to untangle. In case of parawaiting the Brace launch is a beautiful place to be. It is top-landable with the usual risks. When the wind is cross this is a P4 launch. Fly straight out and get clearance as quickly as possible.
