I cant get mine to do it ether. mount your rudder and elevator servo in the tail. it flys better tail heavey. Its not a good fast flying plane but slow stuff is graet. I was flying in the wind one day and hade to hold the plane on the ground with my hand. hovers are ok a little unstable but that will make you better at hovering. when i fly my DP extra I can hover with out thinking about it. The magic is vary fun plane to fly around. I have a 40 fx at 5000ft elev and has good power for hovering. flat spins are cool whin you pull out at 10 ft off the ground.
