Descrizione del decollo

You can take off from two grassy fields: - first located on the left (two meters above promenade), after launch be aware of barriers, stick close to the trees, gain height and jump over big oak to the big cliff on the right - second located on the right close to the monument, use a lot of power to forward launch (you will need it because there is rotor close to the ground) go through promenade between the trees. Its better choice when it is hard to start from the TO on the left (lower wind speeds) Watch out for people crossing by!
