Default RE: Torque rolling and hovering question?

Daniel Z,
That's a cool looking plane. Where to you get the plans for them? I want to try to build one. Also, do you get the foam from an art store or something? I never thought a bipe could actually KE without coupling.

bdavidson,
Thanks for all the advice about the torque rolling. My plane can hover and I could actually stop the torque rolling with full right aileron deflection and gunning the throttle. The main problem is when I was try to descend on the hover. I've done everything you've suggested as far as the control horns... etc.
And, coincidentally I changed out the prop for a smaller pitch prop 2 days ago. That actually made a difference. Now it doesn't torque roll as hard on the descent as before.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

Mark
