Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2018 9:42 pmVolcanic Peak Natural Ramp Incline.
35 road miles West southwest of Las Cruces, New Mexico (USA)
Short, shallow, four running steps down incline.
With 10 mph of wind back up onto the flat area behind the launch and take ten running steps.
That is a good safe minimum rule of thumb for this shallow launch at this altitude (4,660')
Wind needed to soar is 12 to 14 mph.
