Default RE: Question on hovering

ORIGINAL: nuvaring

Hi all, I'm just starting with 3D and have the following question about hovering. I can get the plane into a hover but it seems it wants to rotate to the left from the torque. I give full right aileron and it still goes left. Not sure how to overcome this or am I not doing something I should be???

Plane:
Funtana X100
YS 110
APC 16x6

Thanks
Tork rolling is normal while in hover but if you are just starting, I would go to a 16X4 or 17X4 prop. 4 pitch props rotate straight on its axis while 6 pitch rotates outside of a straight virticle hover. Also called adverse yaw. So if you keep an angle (just outside of a virticle hover) with the 16X6 it will not tork roll. Hope I explained that right!
