Flying in a hover
I have flown mine about 4-5 times and it is very easy to hover. The plane has a tendency to fall out once past15 degrees out of the verticle line, but a goose of the engine will get you back up straight.
I use a combination of the engine and rudder to manage my verticle line.
The rudder is the weakest part of the plane as it will barely hold a knife edge. I am slowly moving the cg back. Right now, I am about where they tell you to go in the manual. It could go back almost and ince, I'm sure.
It is one of the nicest flying planes I have owned as far as slow aerpbatics. Kind of like my modeltech Magic, nice.
I can get an inverted flat spin easily, but the other way is a little tougher...
Jim!
