Does anyone have a setup that will allow hovering?

I just got G2 and started playing around with the impala. In my experience, it will NOT hover hands off. Make sure all your trim settings are at neutral to start, and check to see that you have the flight mode selected correctly on the radio (show radio on the gadgets menu). I have had an easier time so far hovering with HH off. Hope this helps you out.

Oh, and welcome to RCU!

The Impala helicopter behaves in my opinion just like its supposed to. Helicopters are inherently unstable and will not be as easy to fly as an airplane. HH should make it easier to fly as it keeps the tail somewhat tamed. I fly a Raptor and I doubt that I could trim it to hover by itself more than a few seconds at the most. It takes much practice to master the helicopter.

Just as an aside, I spent some time this weekend on the sim, and after a while I reached a point where I could keep the impala within a foot of where I wanted it, then switched over to the "finch". Night and day. That machine is much more challenging. Stormovic speaks the truth. It takes much practice! (and this is only the simulation!)
