Could someone be so kind as to offer me an explaination of the RiGhT (if there is such a thing) way to hover a plane ?

Any special tips, techniques, or things to watch for ?

I've been playing around with a 40 sized stik with a Super Tigre 61 swinging a 12x6 master airscrew and I can get it to hang for a second or two from a slow, slow climb, but I can't hold it there.

I've heard a tail heavy plane will hover better, as well as a longer tail moment will help.

I'd appreciate any help ..
