well, there are several things to keep in mind when trying to " hover " or torque roll .1st most aircraft like an aft cg to hold well in a hover, so adjust carefully and slightly, 2nd you need alot of throws on rudder and elevator to keep from falling out,3rd you need to enter into a hover from a perfect vertical when trying to learn or else you will always fall out .4th use a large diameter high pitch prop, makes it much easier, if you are using an 11x6 on a 46 try going to a 12.25x 3.75 or a 12x4 .plus i am sure there are many more ideas people can think of , but above all it is nothing but practice practice practice.

when starting learn to come out, when you lose it, level rather than down and out. Hit full throttle and go out.
