Usually I'm on the other side of the fence when it comes to safety issues.... But please tell me I misunderstand that you were hovering 12ft away from little kids!!!!! OMG.... I can only hope you exagerrated. Its one thing for an adult to take risks by paritcipating but these kids had no idea what a spinning prop will do to their flesh. As a father I can tell you I definitely would not want some yahoo hovering his plane in front of my son. You can be sure if you would have injured one of those kids regardless of the cause, you would have wished you were dead....cause if the parents didnt shoot you themselves you'd probably have gone to jail.... Do the kids a favor...invite them to the airfield nexttime where they can stand behind a fence or something......
