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!!!!

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.
