Mark, I have heard that moving them requires one of two things, 3 feet or
over 1.5 miles. I have moved them 2 or 3 hundred feet and only had a few
straglers. I moved them when the weather was not good flying weather. I
don't know if this is what others do, but it works for me.
 
Good Luck with your move. Chester Lauck
