Take-off description

Getting there
The site is private and inside a delimited teritory. One should inform the owner before using it.
Weather
..http://www.osservatoriometeorologicodicastagnetopo.biz/web%20cam.htm The site is good when there is a wind from South. A very week wind from North can be tolerated but on the takeoff one must wait for the right cycle in order to take-off
Rules / airspace
Max altitude is 1067m AMSL! It is important to respect this limit. Donno fly beyond the Po river, the controlled airspace reaches down to the ground level there. Do not fly further south than 1km from Superga church.
Comments
The site has got just 200m elevation gain over the landing, Hence there is not a lot of time to find a therma, and one mistake will take you to the bombout at the landing. The good news are - you can up in just 5 minutes, or walk back up in just 25 minutes. There is drinking water available on the takeoff site.
