I don't think I've ever seen a field where they made the pilots stand 150 feet from the runway to fly. That would cause trouble for people with depth perception problems. In my experience, 15-20 is more the norm. Isn't the fence the thing that divides the runway from the place the pilots are supposed to stand while they're flying?

My apologies.
By "pilot stand" I thought you were referring to the pilot pit area.
I was trying to make it clear that I didn't land the aircraft that close to spectators.


Thanks for the tip about the fuel tubing.
I'm actually re-engineering the landing gear for better stopping. I'll try that.
