hovering gets easier the more you practice my first 3D capible plane was a matrix 40 by carl goldberg i fly it with a 46 2 stroke with a 12.25 x 3.75 prop and i hover fine with it it is under powered so i get no pull from a hover but i can hold it in a hover for a while as long as you have a plane with enough throw and your stick control increases you really start to get the feel of it keep trying just not in 10mph wind
