Default Hovering a PBF with a tail touch!!!!!!

Last Saturday, I flew my pfb into a 9 to 12 mph wind. When I tried to land it, I put it into a 60 degree angle with throttle to land it, and it JUST HUNG THERE!!!! I could have kept it there for days; it just hung there. No rudder input, just a slight pull on the elevator stick and thats it! Do they really do this??? Oh of course then I backed of the throttle, it then did a tail slide back-wards, just as it touched the ground, I gave it full throttle and WOW! MY FIRST TAIL TOUCH!!!!!!! I then came around for my first harrier landing! It was so easy! Do pbf's do this without wind? Snow all week and I can't wait to get out to try it again!!!!

Congratulations Ben!

Yes, your PBF will still do 60 degree (or steeper) harrier approaches, tail touches, and landings in calm winds......but now the plane will be slowly moving forward relative to the ground.

Thanks Dave I owe it all to you!!!!!
I was just down in Tucson and let a guy fly my pbf and now he's in love with it and he's going to build one too! I just finished a PBF BARF (it's really an ARF but it's so ugly I call it a BARF kit) kit for a friend. Now they are catching on here too. I always give interested people your website for the how to's to build one.
Thanks again if your are ever up here in Colorado look me up you'll always have a place to stay.
