This is absolutely absurd that the AMA wants to get rid of tail touching. There are things that are more dangerous than a tail touch...such as a new pilot trying to fly a 200+ mph plane. To me, it seems to be more dangerous to hover 10 feet off the runway, because it can flip backwards into someone's face. If it is on the deck, it just falls, you pick up the plane and restart it. The AMA shouldn't prevent young pilots(and adults) from having fun. It isnt that dangerous.
