RE: What is the trick in Havoring ?
I'm not an expert (although I'm pretty good at "hovering"
), firstly you need plenty of power, secondly - a plane that is capable of hovering, something pretty aerobatic with lots of throw should be O.K. You'll probably need to hold some right aileron too, so that it doesn't start torque rolling. You also have to use rudder to stop it "falling" of to one side and elevator to keep it pointing upright.
Try flying a some verticals first to get the hang of controlling it in that attitude. Then when you're good at that and comfortable try gradually reducing the throttle until it eventually "hovers"
It'll also help to have the C-G as far back as you're comfortable with. There are loads of ways to practise it, but this is how I learned to do it.
Hope this helps

Practice is it. Lots of it! The plane must be kept perfectly vertical. When it starts to lean over, you must correct immediately. Once it tips more than about 10 degrees from vertical, you're done.

PS: did I say practice up high first?
