RE: super stick questions?
Theoretically anything with a greater thrust to weight ratio can hover. I've seen a video around here of a Hobbico Avistar hovering! Some planes are just easier than others. The easiest are the profile planes such as the ones sold by Ohio Model Products or the Mojo series. I have a cheap ModelTech SU-31 Sukoi profile that is absolutely ballistic with an OS .55ax and an APC 13x4 wide prop. Anyway since you are asking about the Super Stick and I can only assume you mean the 40 size since that is what you linked to. An OS .55ax if you want to spend the money or a Magnum .52 with an APC 13x4w prop should hang that plane. If you really want to spend some cash though put a Saito .72 four stroke on it. While these engines will hover that plane it won't be easy unless your very skilled. I also agree with NS's statements that the Stick will be a more forgiving airframe than the tiger when you do practice these manouvers. However, I believe if you want to 3D... get a 3D plane since it is very difficult to 3D a plane that was not designed to do so. I wasted a lot of cash on sport planes that I liked the looks of (better than any profile) thinking I could learn to 3D them.
