Hey guys,

Please give me all the tips and how tos you can about hovering. I have no intension of tryin to hover my trainer but I want to try and learn on rf g2. Im using the GP Cap 232 on RF. thanx

Not specifically about hovering, but check out:

a good entry, lots of control surfaces, quick reaction, and alot of knowledge as to what the plane is going to do. trainers won't sustain a hover no matter how much engine you throw at them, they don't have the control surfaces needed.

Smoking Crater... How long Is sustaining a hover for you? My Superstar with sT 51 will ower 5-10 sec. and the pull out..

My avistar is on maximum throws with an la 40 swinging an apc 10x6 and will hover, more less torque roll for about 5 seconds then I let it fall off........... Should use my 46ax but I am saving it for my extra 300.

Blaine Austin also has some good info about 3D on his site. Nothing specifically on hovering, but still worth a read.

a controlled hover that you can enter and exit at will, at least in my book 30 seconds+, but you need a plane capable of sustained hover. 5-10 seconds and you aren't controlling the plane in the hover, it just happens to stay there because of inertia. keep it there 30 seconds and that would be hovering.

I can put my mini IFO vertical, hang it on the prop, but i don't consider that a hover. No rudder on it and it starts to get away from in usually 10-15 seconds max.

It is not your problem. RF G2 is a really bad 3d simulator. I can't hover on G2 more than 10 seconds. Don't worry, at the field is much easier... If u want to train hovers on a simulator buy aerofly pro, it is really good simulator, even in 3D situations. I heard that Reflex simulator was a excellent physics simulator, but i never tryed it. But i personally have G2 and aerofly pro! and i can guarantee that aerofly pro is much better(in everything)... well, u dont have races, and try to pass between 2 points... but... who cares?
Try to download aerofly pro videos from http://www.aeroflypro.com/ and see what im talking about

smokingcrater -- I can hover both of my old Hobbico Superstars -- but they don't torque roll very well -- eventually falling out. Just takes practice.

The most realistic, and easiest, plane on RF G2 is the Biplane. You have to create a copy and then I went in and moved the CG back about .5 to .7 inches. It isnt like the real thing, but you can learn the basics.

You right Byrdman, i can hover sucessfuly only with biplane (well, max 10sec). i never tryed to put CG back, but 3d maneuvers on g2 are so bad! they have a lot of work to do about physics!

Iv tried to make a copy of the bipes but every time i do it says that its not read or something and i can fix it by gettin on explorer? anyone know what its talkin about?
