Hey M8,
You will get it if you keep at it. Your over controlling will get less and the hovering time will get longer. Trust me, we all started like that. It took me about 2 weeks going at it 2+ packs a night to get a sustained hover. That was in November last year and now I can hover without thinking about it (I have been known to watch TV in the house while hovering, lol). There are 2 things I have been told but never believed until they happened to me...
1. Everybody takes a different time to learn.
2. There will be a point when something "clicks" in your head and all of a sudden its not hard anymore.
3. Eveybody has a side (left or right) that they find to be more difficult to control the heli.
You may not think it but I bet your not that far from making your first hover. Then the fever will really bite and you get to start learning the next stage.
My only advice to you is try to keep it low (it will get damaged less when you loose it) and keep at it.
Looking forward to the video
. Keep us updated with how you are doing
Good luck... Azzy
PS. Pity about the T-Rex but I dont think my wife would let me have one, lol
