*Nods* Even G. Harry Stine willingly conceded this when he included his plan view drawing of an idealized model rocket range in his "Handbook of Model Rocketry." In the text he wrote (on page 289 of the Sixth Edition, published in 1994):
"The layout of an idealized model rocket range is shown in Figure 18-1. Note that I emphasized the word idealized. Someday I'd like to fly on such an ideal rocket range. I've been on some very good model rocket ranges, but every location is somewhat less than ideal. We do have a good one in the Phoenix, Arizona area where we have the use of a square mile of state land."
