Default Hovering is not easy - lots to keep track of

I have the Aerofly Pro and I can hover with the plane's canopy towards me but when the belly is towards me, it's hard to reverse the rudder and elevator in my mind. I'm starting to get the hang of it little by little but man this is not easy. It's only the third night I've been practicing so I should relax I guess.

I have been able to torque roll a few times but most of the time I get the elevator and rudder crossed over when the plane turns. Then I crash. Man have I crashed a lot of planes. I tell you what though, when spring comes around I will be an entirely different flyer. This simulator is really that good.

P.S. Another thing that I want to master is rolling harriers. Reversing the elevator and rudder every time you roll is quite a trick to master. I saw another guy do it in this simulator and he made it look so easy. It's not.
