Use the ailerons to keeps the plane still. If you want to try hovering lower to the ground then you need to be sure you can pull out of it quick. I wouldn't do any extreme 3D close to the ground if you aren't completely familiar with your plane. When I first got my foamy I didn't start doing 3D close to the ground until I could do it perfect high up. At least they are foam though so if you do crash it you probably can fix it with a little glue. Hope I helped.
