What kind of permit do you need to fly at Laguna Niguel? I used to fly there a lot but it's been a while. I just moved a few miles away and have been thinking about getting back into flying.

Let us assume -moving- traffic for the moment. LOL! Less > than 25 minutes down the CA 55 freeway to the I405 freeway north. You don't need to go all the way north to Brookhurst. 55 south to 405 north. Exit at Harbor and turn left (south). Continue south past Baker and Adams. Turn right on Wilson (west). Go through 2 more signals, and then there's a stop sign at Canyon. Turn right on Cayon and it dead ends into parking lot for Fairview part (school to the right). You can look this up on http://www.mapquest.com look for intersection of Canyon Dr and Wilson, in Costa Mesa. There's also a good slope site with a nice view in Laguna Niguel. You need a permit to fly there, but not to watch. There's also a hill (Kite Hill) nearby that you can fly at (no permit required). Laguna Niguel is an official AMA slope site. About a 200 foot slope up to a canyon ridge, then another shallow 40 feet to canyon floor. This site was featured in a couple of the endless lift videos. Directions, 55 south to the 405 south. Exit on Alicia west/south (right turn). Continue for about 8 miles. You'll pass Moulton Pkwy, and as approaching Aliso Creek, you'll see the canyon. Continue on Alicia past Aliso Creek, up the hill, then turn right on Highlands. Take the 3rd driveway to the right, which is the entrance to HillCrest Estates, a gated community, but just the the guard you're there to go to the park and the guard will let you in. Continue about 1/4 (north) and you'll see a small 3 car parking lot to the left. Park there or near there and then enter the gate to get to the park. A nice canyon view from there, and good lift when wind comes from the west which it usually does. This is my favorite slope site in the area, but probably because it's only 20 minutes from where I live. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
