ES Control,
One of the simplest things I learned early when hovering:
When looking at the belly of the plane, move the rudder stick towards whichever wing is falling. That is really the only thing you need to remember. It will help you so much. at least it did me.
Good luck.
Thanks
Barry

I am still learning 3D flight . It is November 2011 now, and I have discovered, You can not just learn to hang on a prop. with out learning the somewhat 3D packaged deal.<div>
<div> The 71" gas slick is great !!! </div><div> A 59" Electric Slick is soon under construction.</div><div> I am now on my 2nd. 42" slick.  And thinking about replacement No.3 (Do to too many mishaps/repairs.)</div><div>I tried a Pro 260 profile  Because you all told me to. Nice plane, but a AJ slick is like coming home. (If you know what I mean.)</div><div>The U Can Do is collecting dust.</div><div>  The simulator ( now G.P. 5.5 ) is slowly helping me.</div><div>
</div><div> My rudder thumb is fairly automatic, but elevator still is a problem when I am looking at gear.</div><div>I am still to chicken to bring it low , but on the sim. Im on the deck all the time.</div></div>

I am still learning normal flight with sim. It might take me at least 3 years to begin to learn 3D?</p>

It's not really a matter of time, rather it's a matter of gallons.

You are only limited by your imagination, reactions, talent, dedication and BALLS. Start getting low, oddly you will have less crashes when you are close to your self and low to the deck. Also, iffffffff you do have a crash close and low, you will KNOW what you did wrong, often when you are high or some distance away, you might think you know what you did wrong, but actually you DONT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTtxStJJyFI
