tail touch
If you want to do almost hands free hovering, try a Super Wasp, before this airplane i was able to hover for about 1 minute but after this airplane i'm able to hover the complete 6oz tank (7 Min) close to the ground and i mean close. I can do tail touches, i land every time doing a harrier or tail landings, this thing does climbing flat spins like when in a thermal with a sailplane.
Of course you need to practice a lot but once you get the confidence that you can do it, then you will realize that is easier to do a really low hover than a 20 or 30 feet attempt.
The way i go back wards when hovering is just decreasing one click for 2 or 3 seconds and then a accelerate to stop the airplane and so on ītill i get close enough to hold the hover until i get bored.
This is an amazing airplane.
