Flyable Caution / slim window Not flyable
What we look for here
- Wind directionSSE (157°) → SSW (203°)
- Ideal speed10–16 mph
- Upper limits≤ 18 mph base · gusts ≤ 23
Faces S (SSE–SSW); soarable mornings & late afternoons, turbulent midday. ⚠️ NEW: the "Vista" 4-story apartment/condo complex went up across from the South Side LZ — it throws rotor onto the landing zone in a S wind, worst in the very direction the site needs. Plan your approach accordingly. Also: blow-back to the wires/quarry behind launch; E wind rotors off the SE hills, W wind rotors in the west bowl. State rec area, P2 min.
