One of the few times I agree with Hoss.....
Geeeez people... there is NO REASON to every be within 25' of anyone while flying!.... excpet landing or taking off....and even then if you are landing or taking off within 25' of another person....you need to practice takeoffs and landings!!!!!
Move on

What you may not be considering is, the hobby has changed and is continuing to evolve. When I fly my palm sized heli I have a hard time seeing it well at twenty-five feet.
There is simply no way to make such a rule, as this, that does not discriminate against someone’s flying style or choice of aircraft or that may not be misinterpreted by a Barney Fife type or construed to the best effect by some ambulance chaser.
It is my contention that communication with all pilots and helpers involved is the best answer. If you’re not a pilot then shut up about what happens beyond the flight line. But if you are a pilot I am sure something can be worked out that all can be happy with…just keep an open mind and
communicate.
Hmmm...I got it! I got it! Maybe there should be some rule about intentionally flying behind the flight line. Therefore the flight-line can be used to set the margin needed. On second thought that would be dumb…because it seems no one knows what a flight-line is…
