I put up an EZ-up, unfold my most conferable lawn chair, and park my butt once I'm in the air. Ive never tried to take off or land while sitting, feel like that would make me look TOO lazy. For one, my left knee is sucks, and hurts if I stand on it for too long and second I also run big tanks and fly longer than most at the dry lake. (Is that a run-on sentence? I was strong in math/science, not English)
