"illegal" hovering
What really gets me is the people that hover over the runway while others are flying the pattern. 20 feet/25 feet/30 feet---I don't care if it is 100 feet....If others are flying a normal pattern, hovering over the runway should be made illegal. I've called "Landing!" to no avail. It is just plain RUDE, not to mention unsafe, to do this over the runway when normal flight ops is going on. Rules have been imposed but the 3D flyers start out over the edge of the runway only to creep closer. Several models have crashed in the pits. A few have had to duck to keep from getting hit in the head. WHEN WILL THE AMA PUT AN END TO THIS BEHAVIOR!!!! WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED?!?!?!?! In one club in Memphis there is a great divide between the 3D'ers and the folks that just want to fly a normal pattern. I won't join until this issue is settled. I wish that the 3D'ers that fly in this manner would get a clue.....
