No further motor use is permitted due to noise restrictions.<br \/>All other powered models or gliders powered by other means are forbidden.<\/p><p>The hill is also popular with hang\/paragliders. The <a href=\"http:\/\/skysurfingclub.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sky Surfing Club<\/a> manage manned flight on the hill. As many of the slopes are quite narrow great care must be taken when sharing the slope. On the West slope, models should try to keep to the north end and paragliders to the south.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>F<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PV<\/strong><\/span> (first person view)<\/p><p>Flying with the use of a camera is <strong>not<\/strong> permitted on this site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Butser Hill Butser Hill is just off the A3, south of Petersfield in Hampshire and is part of \u00a0Queen Elizabeth Country Park which comes under the jurisdiction of Hampshire County Council. \u00a0 The MVSA has an agreement with Hampshire County Council which allows us to fly on the hill.
