RE: Hovering, and pitch question??
Why don't you want a coaxial? I have 2, a stock Blade CX and another souped-up one with hotter motors and some other mods. They are great fun to fly around the apartment when the weather is too bad for outdoor flying. A lot of more experienced pilots keep one or two around just for practice and fun flying. The coaxials will fly when the bigger helis have to stay on the shelf collecting dust.
