Descripción del despegue
Big area with dirt and small rocks. Also lots of tiny bushes to snag lines. Launch is at 8000ft/msl, 4000ft above the LZ. The air is thin. Occasional dusties through launch, especially late in the day.
Comentarios de pilotos
This is a huge site with big mountains and deep canyons. The terrain is harsh desert with rocky spines. The launch is 4K above the valley; you can climb a thousand feet higher and still be only half-way up the mountain. 30-mile flights are common, but further distances must be out-and-backs. Use other launches for long open-distance XCs. Maintain good ground clearance. There is little benefit to 'scratching' the Whites, and the potential for dust devils and/or violent thermals is high. This is a great high altitude launch - once you make it up the gnarly road! The advantage is the LZ always feels like it is within gliding distance. Great for confidence of the students. Wait for a lull to launch!!
