When you feel comfortable with Aerofly, build a PQHOR. The PQHOR is by far the easiest hovering/most durable plane out there and it only costs $15. I have run out of fuel hovering at 20ft, nose in, no damage

I've put mine in 20 times practicing tail touches and it's still flying.
Check out spadtothebone.com but make your fuse and wing 36" and don't taper the control sufaces. Flys a little different than a regular plane but after 10 flights you'll be hooked
