In my experience that is very common. My club has the same deal. The land owner wants us to crawl past his house and barn. Even 10 mph is too fast. So we do what he wants. Otherwise he would close down our field. Another club in this area, different land owner, has the same deal. It seems to be the nature of the situation. People who own large areas of land, particularly farmers, tend to be very protective and very controlling of their land. Flying fields are hard to come by and expensive to prepare. So we do whatever it takes to keep the landowner happy.
