Rule #9 doesnt apply as far as I am concerned . If you are not at a meet and nobody at your field cares then I say go for it. Plus its not illegal until 12/31/03. I would watch how I tell people about grabbing your airplane out of the air. I said that once and boy did I get a lecture from a lot of people telling me that it created a "bad name" for 3D. I guess thats a lot like the same lecture saying that a true display of 3D talent is hovering at 75" high , 200" away. Sure....whatever you say oldtimer.

Just as a disclaimer, I do fly at an outlaw field. We dont follow those stinkin rules!! Just use a little common sense and if you hurt yourself then its your own @$$. Everybody else knows better than to walk around aimlessly when someone is doing extreme stuff.
