[sm=idea.gif]Hover Tips for Calm Air & Light/Moderate Winds for Low & High Altitude

I have found it's easier to make a controlled hover by first trimming out the DF V Ti Pro for level flight then setting level calibration and then after liftoff either overtrimming the fore or aft pitch and then counteracting that overtrim as needed to induce hovering. This prevents overcorrecting when initiating a hover and works very well to maintain a controlled hover at low or high altitudes. When there is enough of a headwind this obviously acts as your counter trim so you can actually set the trim to match the wind and the DF will ride that wind like a wave. Both methods require constant attention with the first method maintaining constant pressure on the stick but the results are very precise.
