RE: Risk Takers?
Whether or not Dave said it tactfully, the point is taking risks leads to injuries, and those flying 3D are more prone to take risks because they can show off. If you can keep it under control and not endanger people then 3D is safe. However, if you feel a manuver is cooler 10' from the pilots than it is 50' from the pilots, then 3D is not for you. I do not find the height of your plane to be an issue, as long as you aren't flying above the field's restrictions as someone stated. Show off to people by taking risks with your plane, not by risking other's health. High speed+low alititude is cool, assuming its not too close. flying behind the flight line is not cool.
