RE: Standing position for take off
WHO cares where you stand when taking off??????? This is a hobby for fun for all. And for all you pilots that think you way is better and you are better pilots just ask the expert who landed and turned off there transmitter while plane was still on and didnt rebind after setting up his plane then it just took off by itself the DA150 ended up in my 2 week old toyhauler he was a expert. Well after all said and done his insurance company wrote me a check for the damage to my new toyhauler I hadnt even peeeeeeed in it yet $21,000.00 he was a expert pilot. So I dont care where you stand to take off if that helps you and you feel more at ease and are safe in doing so then WHO CARES. In all my 30+ years of flying I seen more screw ups and close calls by the so called expert flyer after all they know everything and are perfect also. Oh yes sometimes I do stand behind my plane when taking off sometimes I dont.
