I'm being shunned for hovering at my club!
sounds like you are in the wrong here. it's quite unnerving for anybody to have a plane hovering in front of them while they are trying to fly. i think the club has done you well by allowing the hovering to continue, just away from the pilots and runway...they could ban it all together. don't just think about yourself, there are other people at the club, too. if you don't like the rules, don't fly there. i have nothing against hovering and try to do it myself, but never in front of others while they are flying, and always across the runway out of the pattern. if noone's up, i'll fly how i want, but my first concern is the safety of myself and others.
this has been beaten into the ground for a while here. do a search and you'll find other posts just like yours, with tons of responses just like mine.
