Referring to props as meat grinders do no one any favors...you or 3d pilots...so cut it out!





Actually, believe it or not, at some point you will become more comfortable close in. There is no doubt, as for as I am concerned, I can see minute responses much better close up and low. Of course, if you are not absolutely comfortable hovering or doing any other maneuver, whether it is four point roll or a simple landing, you are doing something wrong. What many do not consider is that an aircraft on landing approach is much more dangerous because of the energy it has if it hits you. A Typical 3D plane has far less energy on impact while in stalled 3D mode.

Next time you are on the flight line take a moment and consider how comfortable the other pilot is while landing. Hmmm...he could get crossed up and go full throttle in an attempt to make a save...[X(] (BTW seen many close calls while pilots are landing! )By the time a 3D pilot makes it to the level he can consistently hover and tork close in he will be a lot less likely to make such of a bad judgment call. I rarely see anything that can be remotely construed as a close call while competent 3d pilots maneuver close in.

Just the way it is.
