It's not black on the end. That's good. If only I had realized it was an open invite for safety tips. :-)

This is the one we use. We have 4 of them. Anything bigger than a 30cc sized plane will need a longer and wider version. Most of those we start on the ground though.

Ours are under a sun shade at the flying site. I have seen guys put wheels on the front legs so they could roll them around. Here they are in action.

Very cool might have to show these to the president and see what he think's just one problem as I said storage space but I cant see why you just couldn't chain them up to a post!
