I can hover!!
Just got back from flying and after a year of trying to fly 3D I can actually hover, and hover well I might add. I'm pumped. I feel like a kid with a new toy. Can't wait to go back and do it again. I've been flying for years, but never really spent the time on it to get much better. Last summer I got my first semi-3D plane, which was a Goldberg Matrix. This plane was both more fun and more difficult for me to fly because I was not used to something this quick handling. It was also very tip-stally until I retrained my elevator thumb and moved the CG back where it should be. But, I stuck with it and I can now hover it. I realize this is not a great 3D platform, but maybe I will make me better when I get my next plane, which I think will be a profile, like a mojo. I really can't afford the big stuff so i figure a profile is the way to go. Just wanted to share my newfound enthusiasm for the hobby. For some reason I could do other 3D stuff like high alpha flight, walls, blenders...but could never hold it in a hover until now. now the fun begins!
