I'd have to go check exact property names, but you can set the lon/lat/elev
of the tower view to anything you like, then placing the tower vantage point
anywhere you want.
A 3d modeller could create a little flat rendition of their R/C model field
as a single object (or collection of objects) and place that on top of the
default FlightGear terrain at the correct location.
It should be pretty straight forward to setup a little R/C modeling airfield
and fly from it via a modeler's perspective. There are a couple pictures
and movies if you wade through this link:
We've done just about exactly this for one of our U of MN UAV projects.

[For what it's worth, and completely unrelated, but hopefully soon to be
related to this uav project: GumStix == very cool.]

Hi Rob
Quick and easy...use the Tower view [V].... limits you to the airport
locale but hey..it's an easy way to give it a go.
