Never noticed that I had been hovering for 30 seconds right where he pulled up.

In an effort to avoid him hitting me I lost it. It all happened so fast its hard to recreate what happened. Needless to say, I am PO'ed.

I have planes to get me thru the season, but I really loved that YAK. I bought it expressly for the purpose of flying at my local field (which is all crazy all the time), but now that QQ has packed it in, it isnt even a replaceable plane, which was the original plan.

Still drinking. Feel better!

Lame, it sounded like a hit from the way you said it. There is a bit of friction between the 3D guys and the warbird homos at my field to. The other day I had a dude intentionally buzz my plane during a 3D manuver. He thought is was funny I wanted to kick his ass. Some people just have no respect for other pilots.
