Default RE: First time hover--YAAAHHHOOOOOOOO!!!

More hovering today on the snow with skis. I did a torqueroll today. Only got about 1.5 turns before I lost it.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] TOO COOL!!

Did about 20 flat spins. Both left and right and inverted and right side up as well. Feeling confident with the plane. Need to move CG back a bit.

Lots of touch-n-goes right into a hover at 100' altitude.

I found my favorite move so far. I come in low and slow from my left at about 1/3 throttle. Then as it gets right past me I pull vertical and burp the throttle for just a second, then a hard snap and right into a hover. It looks pretty cool and I got a couple of compliments on it from fellow flyers today.[sm=lol.gif]

I did a few nose high harriers today with lots of elevator and about 1/2 throttle.

I REALLY like this plane and engine combo for this altitude. Too much fun![sm=sunsmiley.gif]
