It's annoying trying to build within your confines with flight because whenever I want to fly around the outside to take a look at the progress I fall into the void.
Yeah but by the time the flight kicks in again I'm 200 blocks in the void and can't use /jump outside the confines of the build range. I don't think they'd manage just fine if they flew off the side of their island to get a good view. Quite the opposite, really.
