Default RE: Hover help

most foamy, .46, .60, .90 size 3d planes on the market have a small flat stab, rudder and tailpost to save weight, uild time and cost. this is a disaster when it comes to hovering. hover planes need an oversize thick built up stab/rudder/tailpost makes them less pitch sensitive. air from prop passing over a thick tail group will lock it in - keep the tail steady in hover like an invisable hand holding the tail in verticle. a hover pilots worst enemy is a sensitive tail that is all over the place. are there any light balsa 3d airplanes with a big oversize builtup tail group out there?
