Default RE: Hover V Torque Rolling

All airplanes will hover without any stick movement. Once you find where the spot is for your plane the stick movements will be very little. For example, to hold a solid hover with my Reflection, I need to hold slight right aileron and up elevator. If I hold the stick stills in that spot the plane will hover without any movement at all. If I let go of the aileron to counteract the torque, it will torque roll. No matter wether the plane is canopy or belly to me, I still need to hold the elevator up. You can see the control surfaces in the pics. Once you get the plane in a solid hover and can hold it there for at least 10 seconds, start playing with the ailerons to get it to torque. By then you will have so much practice that it will all be second nature.
