It took me 3 years of hovering practice before I could get DOD & touch the tail, (& get out without a scratch!!!) I had been flying RC for over 15 years before I started 3-D, I'm still learning, learning to get out of hovers with barely enough power for pullout, I have to "fly" it out. I think hovering & then torque rolls are the hardest to do, it can seem impossible at times. If you have a simulator, use it a lot, if not, fly a lot. I dont think there is a plane out there that will do it all without a good pilot making it happen. You can get lucky sometimes and get one thats setup right the first time.
