Take-off description
This is an afternoon site and needs a sea breeze with some South in it. While the launch has been improved, it is small without a bail-out option. You need a breeze to be able to launch with only a few steps. Jungle surrounds the launch. You will need solid launching skills, this is not a launch for beginners.
Getting there
The trail to launch exists, but it is overgrown a bit and can be obscured by vegitation. You want a local guide to lead you up to launch. You do not want to bush whack as the vegitation is too nasty to get through with a pack. Contact Victor at Hotel Rio, 322-222-0366, a local pilot who has repaired the launch site.
Weather
You will need the right cycle/breeze to launch. Make sure you can penetrate the breeze to avoid landing in the jungle.
Comments
This site has both ridge lift and thermals. The thermals may require active flying.
