Ok on the radio gear when i flip the switch it takes it maybe a second to go live, acts like a pcm setup is that normal? And on the engine if i switch props to a apc 12.25/3.75 will it hover, have no idea what it weighs.
1. Yes, when you switch on any system they do will do just that on power up, normal.
2. No, it will never tuly hover even if you acheve the better than 1 to 1 thrust to weight ratio that is required. This is assuming you are talking of true vertical hover suspended only by the propellor and not just flying slowly into a big wind. Power is only one part of the equation, the other is powerful controls (elevator and rudder). The control surfaces on that airplane are just not up to the job on that airplane.
