I have been guilty of flying too close to myself on too many occasions. My wife is always telling me to keep em out a little. About the getting it directly overhead, when we do that, we are asking for a disaster. When it's right over me, I lose all reference . Only thing to do is full power , forward stick and pray. My problem is the limited space that I practice in. If you have seen my picture posts, I live in East Texas, and we are very wooded. If I go forward 40 feet, im in the trees, so have to do a lot of backing up, and 15 feet max on the hover. Tends to make you a more precise pilot, but it's Oh S--t when you mess up . Everybody practise some safety, and we will all be talking later in the year. Jimco
