My field is so soggy in the winter, I can tailtouch all I want and not hit the ground

ABout the 55+ guys... There was an incident a while back at my club where a guy (flying a Sig LT 25 with a 40 FX) went vertical at full throttle. Somehow, the plane reversed course while the pilot still thought is was going vertical. Anywho, I'm happily flying my Kaos around when I see a yellow blob streaking for the runway. THe thought that went through my mind was "Whoops, that one's had it!". At the last instant, the yellow blob changed course...right for the pilot boxes. By aonlooker account, his wingtip was a mere foot from my shin. Give it some though, LT 25 with 40 FX going straight down at full throttle. It had to have been doing 60 easy. If that thing was one more foot to the left, I'd have had a broken leg. (And somehow while dodging airplanes and shouting things that you get deleted here if I repeated them, I managed to save my airplane )

As a footnote, In the past year, I have been nearly hit 3 times (none of them by myself, thank you peanut gallery). And none of the 3 pilots were attempting 3D maneuvers. I know 4 3D flyers at my club (myself included), and none of us have come close to hitting anything or anybody.
