No authoritative data found — "Mount Parapoo" does not appear in any club/USHPA guide, paraglidingEarth, XContest, or pilot reports, and the coordinates (rolling hills near Boyertown/Reading, eastern PA, ~961 ft MSL) correspond to no documented launch. Name appears to be fictional/placeholder. Wind window below is INFERRED solely from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (working octants N, NE, W, NW), which spans the northern-through-western semicircle. Ideal arc (290-360, NW through N) reflects the dominant NW/N/W cluster where the slope would face the wind most squarely; treat W (~270) and NE (~45) as marginal cross/edge directions. Speeds are generic estimates for a modest low-elevation ridge/training hill: light-to-moderate winds best, gusty thermic conditions and any south/east component would be cross-to-tailwind and unflyable. The disjoint NE octant in the hint suggests a secondary or wraparound launch facing differently; could not verify. Recommend confirming the real site name and pairing it with the controlling USHPA chapter (CHGPA covers the DC/MD/PA region) before relying on any of these numbers. Watch for lee-side rotor in stronger flow, mechanical turbulence over wooded/rolling terrain, and best smooth conditions early morning or evening.
