I was working on my CX2 last night, trying to tune it up in a limited space and I was getting frustrated that I could not afford to really get it up above ground effect because of the space limitations. I kept thinking "if only I could tie this thing to the ground and see what she does under more than 60% throttle..."

Has anyone ever tried to actually create a tether line to anchor the CX2 and only allow it to travel X # of feet in any direction? My guess is yes, but would it provide any useful data?

Should I just suck it up and wait until I can fly in more space?

When she's tuned up for hands-off hover, I have no problem flying her in the house, but when she's not, I can end up wrecking her worse by trying to fix her.
