Default magic hovering

So far soooooo goood. I've only been out with it three times so far, and have never been able to hover before, but I am able to hold it for quite a while. I think even with the cg forward, it loves to stand on its tail. Although that could be the heli motor just trying to keep itself in its proper attitude

I am even doing it low n slow, on take off, less than 30 feet off the deck, which is blowing me away so far. You definately do NOT need a 46 or 61 for it. Mine hovers at less than half throttle with a TT 36. Don't follow the instruction manual when building the plane, the battery shouldnt be up front. I stashed mine under the servo tray, where the throttle servo would be. I have a mini servo mounted on the right side of the fuse, and a smaller 4 oz tank on the left. I can get 12-15 min flights out of a single tank, and even if it goes deadstick, it floats like a sailplane. It's wing loading is actually less than some sailplanes. I would definately recommend this plane to anyone.
