Default RE: how to hover an airplane

Quick primer.

Buy a plane that's listed as a 3D plane.

Set it up with about 45 degree throws on the rudder and elevator, 30 degrees on the ailerons. Move the CG back to approxiamtely 30 to 35% MAC, Be careful, because the plane will be extremely twitchy, and it might be best to set up dual rates for taking off and landing, or exponential to soften the controls around neutral.

Then practice, practice, practice.
