I kinda understand what your saying Florida. My lines are fifty eight feet long I stand six foot and my arm is around thirty inches long and my average plane is 33 inch up to 36 inch wing span with a six inch with lead control. That hooks up, to my lines. Not counting the four clips that attach all this.a plane taking off should be at over one hundred foot hopefully five hundred foot at my lot. When he departs runway 17. South runway. If he fails to set his altimeter and I am flying my three minutes. It can get really close. If I just happen to be in a overhead wing over. That's why I have AMA, Trust, and a FAA registered number. AJ
