Wigwam Flying Sites
| 
Although we cannot guarantee the weather, we have managed to arrange 3 different takeoffs for ALL 4 wind directions. For anything with a Northern component, we will use the Wigwam takeoff situated on Bonolo Farms, thanks to Russell Achterberg we managed to open this site for flying again. If the wind is West, we will use the takeoff at Eagle’s Nest. This will be the goal and venue for a Skaapbraai as well. Everyone in Gauteng and North-West knows that we are grounded (unless you are prepared to hike up Harties) when the wind is South. The good news is that we have arranged to use the Southern and Eastern takeoffs on the farm Shylock. This site is 7km to the North-West of Eagle’s Nest where the communication towers are. It has a tarred road to the top, and 400m of grass takeoff, for the East it has 100m. The owner has accommodated us to use this site once a year for competitions only.
- North - Wigwam (25° 47.535'S, 27° 17.306'E)
- East - Shylock (25° 36.804'S, 27° 7.532'E)
- South - Shylock (25° 36.804'S, 27° 7.532'E)
- West - Eagles Nest (25° 38.890'S, 27° 11.223'E)
