Warbird pilot,
I agree with those who feel that hovering should not be done when other people are flying the pattern. There is a time and place for everything. What does scare me is the 6 month pilot trying to learn to hover with a full pattern and 40 pilots on the flight line on a Sunday afternoon. It is just not safe! Courtesy goes a long way. (I guess I got my 2 cents in this mess now)

Happy Flying. Greg
