Just wanted to say that with a Menace(fun fly plane) I have hovered many bags of fuel thru them. I find that if you enter the hover with a pitch straight up till it stops, then add power. You have to realize that you will constantly play with throttle on a light airplane, to keep the same altitude, sorry, just the facts. I find that I crow the controls towards the center of the transmitter to really maintain straight up and down. Key parts being a perfectly running engine, low pitch prop, and practice. The smaller the plane the harder to hover, its just the way it is. The big TOC planes are easy compared to ours, they have weight, long tail moment, and lots of torque with a huge prop. Keep practicing, it will all come around.
