Default Easy Hovering?

What 40 size airplane if built well and light. Is the easiest plane to hover. Even though it is a 90 size, any info on the Mayhem from sig could help. Because I am considering the 40 size version that plane and it should share most of the same qualites and it's bigger bro. So any 40 size hovering plane that comes to mind, please write the down.


Thanks

OMP for sure...

the Edge might be a good bet....
I fly the Katana and LOVE it!

if you want a kit, the OMP kits or a Mojo would be nice too

I'll have to second the MOJO or the OMP edge. I fly both and they are very easy to hover

Does anyone know of any instructional videos for 3D flying, or pattern flying.

The easiest plane to hover that I have flown is the UCD3D. Not the most capable for other maneuvers but it would just lock into a hover and build confidence on your part.

Thanks for your reply, however, I am not looking for an aircraft, I am looking for instructional videos that will step you through both 3D and aero "tricks". I have a very old set of tapes from Dave Patrick, but am looking for some up to date stuff. Can't tell you how many web sites I have tried to no avial. Any ideas.
Thanks
Mike

Unfortunely never flown a Katana[] But they look like really stable planes Ill order Yak as soon as they have it in stock
By the way.... i crashed my dazzler, lol. Definitely Dazzler is not a 3D plane. I moved CG back, started hovering far from the floor, and i did it for some time.... Then i tryed a low harrier... it ended with a crash[:@] All of the front have been detroyed, no damage on the wing... Im rebuilding it, maybe in 2 days will be ready to fly again

How's your Bossnova? any video?
