Fortunately, I am also retired and don't have to worry about my certificate or medical to make a living anymore.
PLEASE, don't hold me to this statement as I only heard it once this past weekend. But, I was told that their is a way to fly U-Control without standing in the middle of the circle. I was TOLD that the lines are connected to a pole in the middle of the circle and the person / pilot flying the model is on the outside of the circle, flying the model by remote control. It is an RC model, just connected to a pole to keep it going around in circles.
Would love to hear is this is true, or the person that told me about it was just blowing smoke up you know where.
