mpj,
I wasnt insinuating you. I commend ya for lookin soo deeply into the AMA website to find it. The AMA website can be as exciting as watching paint dry from time to time. My comments were directed elsewhere. There have been several threads on this in the last 6 months, and it always ends up with the same players voicing the same opinions. Rather than tolerance, or trying to come up with a solution, this discussion always turns into a "My method (warbirds/parkfliers/sport plane/pattern plane/ scale, etc) is the only way to do it, everything else is just not worth my time/effort/being forced to watch it. Combat has the possibilty of being just as dangerous as 3d maneuvers, if not a greater danger. I admit to letting the last go around get very personal and very nasty, and I am not going to let it get to that point again.
I believe that the item regarding hovering is going to cover being too close to the pit area/spectator area and runway. I hope they also include something about people catching or touching planes in a hovered state, before someone really gets hurt. I am all for being able to touch the tail of a plane to the ground, as long as its done without risking others, and their equipment.
Why must we have to resort to legislating common sense or courtesy on each other? I guess its because we have to..........
