Default hoovering

Jive turkey:

yes to everyones input. But to make things alot easier for learning to hoover. go out on a day that is not dead calm. look for small wind about 1-3 mph. come in like your landing into the wind, at slow speed start feeding in up elevator then slowly add throttle til nose is at about 80degrees. dont go to 90 yet. work on hoovering at 80degrees for a while. get used to rudder and throttle for a while. when you pitch to 90 the plane will blow back you. This way you can practice using left and right rudder, throttle and only up elevator. after your comfortable with all that you can start going to 90degrees and worry about down elvator.

the best plane I can think of for learning to hoover is one of the profile edges. like ohio model plane 540 profile.

good luck.
