Kule mentions some good tips. I'd like to add to that.

For hovers, I lean the nose of the plane in to the wind about 5 degrees. This helps stop the natural TR. I have found that on most planes (fun fly types are the exception) that there isn't enough aileron to stop the TR unless the wing is flying a little.

For TR, one tip I'd like to add is that you can greatly increase the authority of a control surface (elev/rud) by giving a blip of power. Most of the time this is not needed, but if you encounter a gust of wind that blows the tail out, adding a blip of power will help increase control.

One word of caution... If you slide backwards into your propwash (you will typically hear a buzzing sound) you will need a lot of power to stop the fall. After adding power, when the prop finally catches again and stops the fall a lot of torque is transfered into the plane. This will give you one heck of a fast TR. This has happened to me a few times on my 35%. It will go from a 2 second TR to a 2 per second TR real fast. First time that happened to me low to the ground I needed to check my shorts.
