turn-around time from landing to launch is about 45 minutes on a lazy drive up to hanglip main picnic area, the area is very scenic, and the minimum license requirements is S.A.H.P.A. Sport Lisence. Airspace controllers require all pilots to fly with airband radio, and to make arrangements for flying EVERYTIME one wants to fly.
