Wayne, that is a perfect description!
Jive Turkey,
Don't know if you have thought about it...learning to hover with a Pizza Box flyer might be the fastest and best way to go...i learned in a few days....must have "dorked " (A.K.A. as Geological explorations) the thing about a trillion times. just gave my original to a club member to use. they really are indestructible....now i can hover/harrier it all around the field a few inches off the ground with conifidance. i almost never dork it now and i can torque roll it a time or two before i loose control and have to pull out or dork.
all of the information on this thread is excellent...i would try to apply it to a PBF.
With all that said.... the proof will be in the pudding when i take my morris the knife out and try all Ive learned with my PBF....maybe this coming weekend, but I do have a very high confidence level (i think thats the main cause for airplane "re-kitting!)
anyway just an idea...good luck.
