One of the old timers at our club cannot fly standing due to hip problems, If he has to look straight up he will fall backwards. We have several of the Adirondack type chairs at the field that he, or anyone else can use. He has been flying models since before I was born (I am almost 50) and it is great fun to watch him fly. Some of the chairs are doubles and when I was learning from this gentleman, I tried sitting in the other chair, It seemed a little awkward to me so I chose to stand behind him, so that I didn't obstruct his view either.

And John, thanks for the inspiring pics. I knew from past threads that you used a chair, but I never dreamed that you flew C/L from it. Keep at it!!
