I think the guys over at Flying Cirkus coined the term "hucking". At least thats where it seems to have gotten started.

Im all about hovering down low and in close... When Im comfortable I do it. I know there isnt one way to sum all of this up once and for all but I will just say that different skill levels will allow different people to safely accomplish different things. There are guys out there that are so good at low altitude high alpha flying that barring an equipment failure they almost cannot make a mistake bad enough to crash. Sortof like the dad in " To kill a mockingbird" that was jut absolutely unable to miss. Once you get the feel for it hovering is not that hard... With a lot of practice, doing it is as easy for some pilots as riding a bike or driving a car... If you cannot, I know that this is difficult to understand.. These guys that are good at it have practiced so much that most of non aerobatic flyers would not believe it. Conversely there are seriously guys that have been flying for 20 years that can just barely land a plane and are in risk of crashing at any moment during a flight.. If you made me pick who I would rather stand next to during a flight, the choice would be easy. That being said...I have been know to quick step back a step or two if I get the feel that someone elses plane is getting alittle too close.

Now, Im going to contradict myself here and state an AMA rule...There must be an imaginary flight line at an AMA field 25' off of, and parallel to the runways edge that extends infinitely. It is not permissible by AMA rules for a pilot to have a plane, in flight within 25'of himself and the pilot must fly from behind this line. Im having prolems with my adobe applications right now or I would copy a quote straight out of the AMA rulebook. Go check for yourself and see if Im off. At least that was the rule when we rewrote our Club constitution's safety rules last year. Has it changed?
