We are counting on you to keep Derek in check. Don't want all that power going to his head!

I think he'll do fine, he learns fast. He keeps asking me what he can be doing for the club. Now he needs a real plane so he can start hovering over the runway!...lol

I can see it now, hover gaggle over the runway with all the board members involved!

Hellz yeah!!!...throw down or go home LOL A few of the board members can't hover tho(fog's)

After reading most of this thread i am amazed at the disrespect aimed at older members of some flying fields. I belong to a large RC club and from what i have observed at our club the good 3D pilots are able to work with the circle guys and get along fine. It seems the guys who talk 3D better than they actually can fly are a problem. Myself, i like all styles of flying. Is there a prize if someones skill is better than the other guys, i think not.

Evil!!!

Hovering may not be evil but it is quite boring, believe it not most non-modellers prefer to watch them fly as opposed to hover. Hovering is for helicopters.

A short hovering/torque-roll sequence in the middle of an aerobatics routine goes over just fine in front of a crowd. But they do want most of the routine to have the airplane moving.

Ummm.....Yes its called winning ! and that happens when "someones skill is better than the other guys "

Hovering is a maneuver just like loops are. It takes practice. If I am practicing slow rolls all day long I doubt anyone will complain. Unless everyone is flying circles in the same direction at the same speed there is potential for conflict. There is room for all types of flying, just be respectful. If I am going to spend a tank working on hovering maneuvers, I will allow others to fly afterwards and stay out of their way for a while. My hovering interferes with their blazing high speed passes and their high speed passes interfere with my hovering. Respect
