Rocket City Airsports currently has 2 flying sites:
-
NW site- Slope launch with 920' vertical, Hang II, located
at the top of Keel Mountain in Gurley, AL. Site access is through private property, parking
at top with plenty of set-up room. Cars with gliders may park right
at site, all others/spectators please park away (see sign). Very generous
landing field good for any direction with only obstacles being
powerlines
on one side of the perimeter. Site is soarable for N to NW winds. Proshop is
in the landing field. It a great site for beginners, and for Hang 4's as
well. The State Record set by David Giles of 102 miles, was set from Rudy's
Ridge! !Great X-C potential for a levels of pilots. Talk to the locals to
discuss best route, and conditions.
-
SW site- Slope launch with 750' vertical, Hang II, located
on the back side of Keel Mountain. Site access is through locked gate,
keys are available to RCA members with a deposit. Only 1 car may
drive right to site, all others park across the field from it, load equipment and ride.
Site is closed during deer season. Generous landing field good
for any direction with powerlines upon approach. Top landings are possible
but sometimes challenging. Site is soarable for SW-WSW wind.
We currently working on an East site in the Scottsboro, AL area, check back
regularly for updates. All pilots flying any of our sites must be a
minimum Hang II and must have paid RCA dues/fees and signed waiver prior
to flying. Contact us at 256-518-9026 for information
