Default RE: Hovering on Real Flight G2

Trying to relate whatever is setup on G2 and real life is a waste of time. You have to cheat the physics on real flight to get it close to reality and even them it won't be perfect.

I use the Extra 3D freestyle off the swao page and and I learned to hover and do rolling circles . When I fly my electric foamy I can now do the same things because I have practiced so much on G2. I stepped up to a 40 sized 3D profile and I still have some set-up issues to iron out buty I can see I will be able to hover just about anything now. I tried it high up with a Dave Patrick Ultimate and no problem except that I don't have the huevos yet to bring it down low.

Moral of the story, it is a great learning tool and don't worry about making it match up to real life. You can't expect to figure out the perfect engine/ plane combo to go out and buy but you can learn a lot without crashing.
