Default RE: Starting Bench Safety Issues

I am not a super fan of those stands,I would rather start on the ground with a hold down strap attached to the tail,I find having to pick up the plane to remove it from the bench while running when I am lifting a larger plane makes me uncomfortable.
our benches are backed up against a fence so you have to lift the plane up to clear the wing restraints not the best set up,our club has ground restraints as well so we have options.
