Don't forget all you 'kiters' that your site has a max launch height-yes I know some are unlimited. So when you look up at the next power guy to fly over the top of your site at what he deems a safe height, because your max launch height is marked on the map innit, don't call him a plonker and then see fit to break your own height limit on launch. I might add I fly gliders too, but not all power pilots have much of a clue about gliding, so if it says 'Cables to 2,000' then a lot of power pilots will simply think 'OK I'm safe at 2,500 then' only to find a kiter (kitee?) spoiling their day with a quick and one way conversation with a cable.
