I wouldn't want a helicopter placed 30 m away from the edge of a helipad. Ah, I forgot about the helipads, how could I ;) What's wrong with using a property that defaults to 5, and that aircraft developers can set to whatever they feel like? I guess nothing, that sounds good to

* LeeE -- Friday 02 May 2008: I am curious about why using the tail location as the visual reference point is abusing the FDM's internal reference system but using the nose is not. That's a misunderstanding. I didn't mean that one place is OK, and another is an abuse. What I meant to say is
