Default RE: Hovering and Torque Roll Question

I had this same problem at first (well for a while). If you just keep trying every day, you'll automatically start figuring out how to correct. You get through one rotation, then two rotations, then you'll be able to just do it all day. I thought I'd never get it but I kept at it and sure enough it comes. The human brain is an amazing thing (how we learn difficult things).

Now the hard part for me is how to STOP torque rolling. Do you use ailerons to stop rolling or just keep the pitch of the plane more forward with the elevator? It's hard for me to keep the elevator controlled while using the ailerons at the same time.
