About
There are a number of potential take-offs though the main one is marked on the map. Other possibilities include a small flat hill out front and the side of the road to the East of launch. The best launch is up top though as there is lots of room to layout and hook in. It is a bit rocky but generally clear of plants and debris. Since it is a bit behind another lower hill the best flight plan is to fly straight out and climb up out front.
