To enter a hover, first switch to high rates, then fly the model slowly enough for you to quickly apply full tip-elevator and have the model 'snap" into a vertical attitude. It's easier to practice hovering with the top of the plane facing you; focus on the nose of the plane. To maintain control, apply inputs that are opposite of the nose attitude. If the nose starts to fall toward the belly, pull up-elevator; if it falls to the right, add left rudder-you get the idea. As the nose points to the sky, you must balance the throttle to prevent the plane from climbing or descending while your work the ailerons, rudder and elevator to prevent it from falling out of the maneuver.
