Default How to improve 3D flying?

Hey guys I've been practicing my 3D flying with a OMP Edge 540 V3. I have been doing alot of low flybys and just as the plane gets in front of me I do a wall and get into a hover. I then practice hovering with the canopy facing me and see how long I can hold the plane in a hover before things get a squirrelly and then I usually punch out. Well I have come to find that I do fairly well at holding the plane steady in a hover as long as the plane is ever so slightly climbing. When I feel that the plane is climbing too much I try backing off the throttle a little to hold her steady. But it seems that when I back off too much is when I usually lose it, is this because there is not enough air flow hitting the surfaces. If so will I need to retard the throttle a little slower and less? Also I have been using Hitec HS-311 servos on everything with a 4.8V battery pack. The specs for the speed are Speed: 0.19 sec/60° at 4.8V and Speed: 0.15 sec/60° at 6.0V, well I feel that the servos are a little slow. Is it just my inexperience at this or is it alot easier to learn this stuff with faster servos? With that being said, should I switch to a 6V battery to get that extra speed?
