Newly Created West Launch
Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2015 12:25 pm
Some recent changes we've arranged with L.A. County Fire Dept. include brush removal below our normal launch ramp and now a new southwest to west facing launch area on the west side of the "donut" or Helipad. Our club rules require a H4 for all launch sites other than the original Kagel ramp.
Take a look at it when you're up there and perhaps some H4's will like it for those rare days when we have west winds on launch.
The next project lined up for the Fire Dept. is to clear the brush below the paraglider launch. Once done, I think this will make the PG launch better for both PG's and HG's.
And by the way, don't forget to thank Greg Angsten for aggressively pursuing a new, more user friendly lock for the Forest Service gate.
