Neutral CG
Lots of throw and a decent amount of expo helps. If you fly F3A you're probably used to a lot less throw and less expo for more precise control. High rates on my 3D birds are bevel to bevel with long servo arms and 40 or 45% expo.
And practice, lots and lots of practice.
Hovering and high alpha post stall flying is all about using the engine to blow air over the control surfaces versus using the airspeed of the model to create control authority.
