Higher risk launch. The club strongly recommends PG2 + 40 hours minimum.
All visiting pilots MUST contact the site liaison officer or a committee member BEFORE flying.
This is by request of the landowner. (see other conditions below)
Notes:
There are three take off locations,
The Trig: 399m. Over the fence at the east end of the top car park.
The take off area has a significant slope with a big drop off at the lower end. Low hour pilots may find this a daunting site.
Telecom: So named because of the Telecom tower. Access is a short walk up the left side from the saddle car park.
The Gut: From the same car park as Telecom, a short climb down and to the right. Can be hard to find without local assistance.
All launch sites are on steep terrain so care is required.
