Takeoff description
Covered metal ramp facing SW. Most hang gliding pilots find the launch very comfortable. Paragliding pilots need to layout and pull up behind the ramp and carefully launch without running off the side of the ramp. Large setup area in a grove of shade trees accommodates up to 30 hang gliders. Launch works best in calm to moderate SW winds, but is soarable with light S through W winds.
