Default Please help with hovering

Hey everyone.

I'm pretty new to flying. I've been flying for about 6 months or so... However, I did catch on quite quick, and have been involved with airplane for quite some time... I've got a question though. I can't seem to be able to do a consistant hover with my plane... it seems to be one of the only draw backs to my flying. I'm flying a seagull razzle 3D plane with a OS 91 engine, a 14-8 prop, a futaba 6exap TX with S3004 servos... my control surfaces have huge amounts of throw, and I dont seem to be running out of throw. The CG of my plane is spec.

I just cant seem to figure out why this wont work. I know its quite different, but I have a collective pitch mini electric helicopter too, and I have NO problem flying it... Perhaps this isn't the right plane for hovering? Maybe it truly is that hard, and I just need to keep practicing? Please help me out!

Thanks lots,
Carlyle
