I hav'nt perfected it yet, but am working on it. The advice that helped me the most. A guy told me to watch the tail not the wing and use small inputs. He also said he could teach anyone to hover for $100................. Buy a $100. worth of fuel and practice.
Hang in there. I think Stevie Wonder could solo before I can hover longer than a 60 seconds. It's a steep learning curve.
