Default practice, practice, practice???(hovering)

...i fought the hovering thing on my own for a long time before getting some much needed expert advice on RC Universe last month...1. a 4 stroke makes hovering easier 2. hover into the wind & keep it less than vertical starting out so it doesn't torque roll on you...

...the video is of me on the 3rd trip out with the 4 stroke on my Knife - in over 125 flights with a 2 stroke i was never able to get it below 8-15 ft. - it's mainly pretty basic harriers but it represented major progress for me in a short time after quite a long period of frustration - it shows me TRYING to put into practice the advice i received here...
