Default Over reacting !!!

I think a lot of folks are over reacting! I spoke with the VP on June 1st, among other things he did mention the hovering situation and it is NOT to "ban hovering" , the concerns that he communicated were with individuals approaching the aircraft on the runway while it is hovering and holding the tail. I have not seen this done or would think it would be allowed anywhere myself but , this thread seems to be a "doomsday" thread for hovering in general, and that is NOT the case, you guy's who can control a plane while hovering like some of the guy's in our club are SUPERIOR pilot's! That maneuver takes a great amount of skill! most pilot's who practice these maneuvers are considerate of the others flying, as posted , ALL flyers just need to be considerate of one another. Don't take a particular isolated incident and call a "Ban" for all, thats not what it is........Bud
