Takeoff description
Easy E takeoff, grassy slope. Pass on the left of the oak with the windsock when launching. Pay special attention to the wind cheching the windsock on the antenna on the N takeoff. If the wind is from N, NE this takeoff is in rotor. With N, NE winds use the N takeoff. N takeoff (50 m northbound). Short, narrow and steep, a little intimidating, but looks worse than it actually is. Make sure your glider comes up cleanly before committing your launch.
Rules and notes
Max ceiling 1300m AMSL due to the Bologna CTR.
