Guys,

I would agree with the original poster. It becomes very irritating to the other pilots. As for safety, well....., you are right that most pilots who can hover knows what they are doing. BUT if for some reason Murphy's Law decides to pop in for a visit, you have a major disaster waiting to happen. Radio equipment could fail and may fail at the most inappropriate time. I have seen what a small prop can do, I do not want to imagine what a big prop will do. I have personally seen a kid who can hover very well but came very close to nailing somebody when he got distracted.

My 2 cents worth.
