Hovering was very hard to learn. But once you get it it's easy. Just like anything in this world. How do I get to Carnegie Hall.....Practice...practice...practice.

Best plane in my opinion is the SX2 or SX3 it's just like the sim. Put it in the ground pick it up and try again. Takes all the fear out of 3D. If not for this plane I don't think I would have learned 3D. My first SX3 has more ground hits then I or you can imagine and it still flys great (est. 500 hits). Also the best flying plane for pattern or 3D. because it has a built up wing. I built all my SX's from plans they are about 10 ozs with a AXI 2208 and a apogee 830 3cell.
