Are you hovering at all?

Mistakes I see when people are trying to learn are these,

1- starting the manuever with too much power on entry. Your gonna want to get the plane vertical and have it stop all upward motion. Then try and catch it with power and hold it there. It has to stop upward motion first though.

2- not holding enough back pressure. MOST planes will want to fall out towards the belly.

3- getting the inputs for corrections in before you can really see the plane need them. That takes time and feel but it will come.
This is easier the lower you are...... Really it is!

4- Knowing what the plane should look like in ALL atitudes for a Hover and even more importantly in a Torque Roll.
Lots of people can hover but as soon as it starts to spin they lose it when the belly is facing them. BACK pressure is almost always needed. Do some entries where the belly will be facing you will help in seeing what the plane needs to look like at that atitude.
As far as "push to the low wing" or other memory joggers.... They have never worked for me. Not saying they dont work. Just not for me.


You are starting with a great plane and motor combo. You will definately be able to learn with it.
