Startplatz-Beschreibung

The takeoff is here: 59.378448, 24.036923. The Launch is quite simple with moderate wind and a bit more challenging with winds more than 8 m/s. In winter, consider flying with winds 1-2 m/s less. The takeoff cliff is 6-7 degrees west of north. The southern part (to the south of the ladder) has the same inclination. The short part between them, which forms a bowl, is about 10 degrees east. The ideal wind direction on the launch spot is from 267 degrees.

Anfahrt

Drive to Paldiski and beyond through the town to the old lighthouse. Take a turn to the RMK zone and come to the cliff. The takeoff is near on the right side. It is possible to come by train from Tallinn, but you have to walk 3-4 km until takeoff. Also, the bus arrives at the city center and is closer to the launch site.

When landing don't go too deep, it is lee side there! Drop altitude in front of the cliff over the gravel road and come to land a bit behind the launch point. Be carefull to take off with winds exeeding 8 m/s. Don't fly with 10 m/s!
