All this talk about stalling.........I don't get it. If your plane is near the harrier position then the wing isn't generating lift and you're way beyond what's known as "stalling". You are "hanging from the prop", as Jack had stated in an earlier posting. Jack was also right on the money when he said that this "high Alpha" flying is a balancing act that involves usually more of the left hand than it does the right. If I may make an attempt at an analogy........picture balancing a broom on your finger.....then picture balancing the broom 30 degrees from vertical......since gravity isn't working straight down the vertical axis of the broom (or in this case the T _ _ _ T) it's going to take more joggling (love that word) to keep it balanced, but the sweet thing is the prop acts like a string tied to the free end of the broom and we now only have to maintain the angle from vertical by "vectoring" the airflow over the control surfaces to keep the tail following at the desired angle. A foamie gives you some valuable experience, but the sheer weight as well as the power to weight ratio of your glow-powered bird is much more of a juggling act (the throttle responsiveness of a foamie is perceptably instantaneous, but with a glow engine, one almost has to anticipate the planes motion that is contrary to the desired hover/harrier). Personally, I find it easiest to intensely focus on the center of the plane while flying these maneuvers. So, as you have already admitted....a steady regiment of practice will indeed improve your flying.
