Pretty simple explanation

Often it is not that the pilot really wants to be that close to the plane ok... occasionally... once in a while... OK.. rarely... but...
also pilots will walk away from the flightline/pit/pilot station area to put more distance between himself, his plane and others...
also... much easier to see up close... if you see it better, you correct better....

Think about this.... if you have a 30 to 45% plane and you are Torkin' at 3 feet, and the engine dies... you brake the plane...
.. if you are at 50 feet, that is just high enuff that the plane can flip over and hit on the expensive side!! (Engine!)...
so you don't want to hover over 3 feet or under 300 feet.... at 300 feet, torkin' really tests your vision!!

Another thing about "Danger" and risk...
life has risk. There are folks who ride dirt bikes... I bet that the rate of injury for Dirt Bike riders is a hundred or
a thousand more times likely then your average 40% huckin' 3D flyer... as long as I am not putting others at undue risk,
there really should not be any problems. (I bet even more spectators are injured/killed involved in Dirt Bike riding
then models!!!)
Oh... one other thing about the Down on the Deck in My Face Torkin....
It is Bad *****!!!

Lighten up folks... this stuff is fun!!!!

Though really no reason to be closer then 50 feet whilst hangin' either


There is only 1 rule you need observe whilst 3D on the Deck Huckin'..... COURTESY
