Nice job Nathan. Good to see it can be done. I'm aspiring to get that low. Give me 2 or 3 weeks.

I was hovering lower and lower yesterday but on one attempt came in (as usual on idle), went vertical and the engine coughed. Just managed to flip it forward and get out of it.

What prop are you using ? Is 12.25 x 3.75 APC best for hovering on a Irv 53 in your opinion. I'm using a 6YG (non-computer), will decide to get an Elipse or 9C soon. Are you using aileron/elevator mix when you hover ?

Surprised you can't KE loop if you can hover. What engine you using ? On my Irv 53 2C I can KE into the vertical, wing over and on the way down will KE back in the same direction. I suppose this is a KE loop ?
