RE: Hover help
I worked all last summer on it and this summer. I finally did a tail touch a couple weeks ago. It just takes time and I am still learning. One thing that really helped me was to have a good 3D pilot hover my plane. I was getting frustrated so at least I knew it could be done. I also used Aerofly Pro during the winter - that helped also. Everyone learns at their own rate - some people, like me, are just slower than others.
I fly a UCD46 and an profile OMP EDGE 47 inch. They are different but both require a bit of skill. I highly recommend getting a profile 3D plane. They are really fun to fly.
