What do you use as your standard hover height when taxying etc, i have heard various figures (skid to ground)? 2feet? 3 feet? 4 feet? 7 feet? etc etc

One train of thought is to keep it close to the ground (2-3ft) so that in the event of an engine failure or TR drive failure you have got less of a drop, the downside of this is that if the aircraft is mishandled you increase the chance of a tail-strike or skid strike?

Any opinions??
