Grayfox. I was in your shoes 6 month ago. I built a SPAD and boght a Funtana. They both do different things well. For hover practice the spad is the way to go. It is so easy to hover or harier.
Plus it's hard to tear up. The Funtana does walls and waterfalls and elevators 100 times better than a spad. One wrong move though and it's gone. I really think a person should have both. Or at least have something else to fly besides a SPAD. I fly one then the other. The control inputs required on a SPAD are totally different than any other plane. If you put ten flight on it and then jump on something else you will be all over the place. I might mention also I use Real Flight sim.
It is really to easy to hover on but trains your thumbs for the correct inputs.

Good Luck David
