Launch

Two launches: the lower one at 96 m asl slightly to the left, and the upper one at 180 m asl over to the right. If there is little wind, it pays to walk to the upper one.

  • W Excellent ridge soaring, also mixed with thermals.

Landing

Always check the landing before you fly. If you land in a field, it must be agreed with the farmer, and the grass must not be tall.
