when i started that perfect entry was everything, it sets up how stable the model is going to be. once i got that and could drift downwind all be it a bit untidy i came in low and started to hover over the patch, over the next 2-3 mins i pulled more and more up in giving more throttle as well, this taught me to start using rudder insead of aileron, it got easier and easier as the tank ran drier. i landed, fuled up, added more movement!!! ( as i now wanted responce, not less movement to counter my untrianed fingers ) and went up again. i kid you not i went straight into a 30 second controled hang, next hang i touched my tail, then i used to watch the tail only, now i can take an over view.

the hang is unlike any other stage of learning, it SUDDENLY! clicks, you go from not hanging to hanging in one flight, yes you still screw up, but thats because you get cocky. once you've got it you find you hardly move the sticks, you can enter it from any angle or speed and drop backwards at quite a rate and still be under control.

bigest factors, engine tuned right, confidence ( either you don't care if you do spank the plane, or you already have ) start high to learn it, once you can drift down wind, come in low. if you go into stall and hit throttle, or start hovering and pull up very slowely is your choice, which ever works best for you.

now, i just need to click this TR stuff
