RE: When you CAN'T use a pilot's station for takeoff...!
You know what PIPE, it seems that you are the one doing all you can to accommodate the other flyers at your field. The other flyers are just not interested in your 'problem' or really don't care, FFS this is a hobby where we go to enjoy ourselves not to nit pick at someone who doesn't or can not perform like the "experts"..........
Big deal PIPE can't take off without standing directly behind his plane, so what!!!! Its not like he is going to be standing in the center of the runway during his 10 min flight. He has come to an arrangement and a procedure that seems OK to me and sounds acceptable. We are talking a minute, minute and a half, tops that other flyers have to be aware he is on the runway, where's the harm in that????
As for planes taking his head off, that can and has happened to flyers on flight stations or in the pitts, pretty lame statement as an argument.
