I was witness to one of these "grab the hovering plane" deals recently. THAT I can see the AMA stepping in and trying curb as an unheathy activity.

the plane in question was a 35% edge. the "grabber" would grab the tail, work his way up the fuse until he could get at the wing, and just pluck the plane out of the hover and set it down.

totally insane to watch. mostly I loved it!! but a part of me was cringing about it thinking - boy, could this be some bad press if something went wrong!.

theres another $.02, (man this is getting expensive)
