Default Thanks guys, how about the DP Ultimate

Thanks for the tips. I have noticed if I let it drop then use elevator as the primary means of correcting that I can hold it longer. It seems that for straight hovering rudder is very important but once I get rolling the much more powerful elevator is more important. I have noticed that if I get some sideways motion going, it is bound to dive off to one side, but it is almost impossible to stop. I've noticed that the speed of the correction is more important than the amount of correction.
Maybe improving my overall ability to balance a stick on one finger would help me balance the plane on the prop. That's what it really is, sort of like a balancing/juggling act no?
I was thinking maybe the Ultimate would be better for torque rolls due to the shorter wingspan.
