Comments

Use of the East facing Fuzz Launch is highly discouraged especially for Visiting and low hour pilots. Fuzz should NOT be flown in Santa Ana wind conditions. Launch is small and unimproved which can lead to problems. Most find risk to reward ratio not worth the effort to Launch Fuzz. On Convergence days, it is better to wait for the Convergence winds to go to 0 to slightly blowing in on the Horse side of the canyon. initialy imported from International Leonardo
