I tried just what you said today into a slight headwind and was able to keep the plane stationary in the air, go backward, and land vertically. The wing was doing some of the flying so it was not a true Harrier but it's a start.

The only problem is when the wind changes suddenly and you are only 3 ft in the air. You have to be really quick on the throttle!! Lots of fun though!!
