how long should a real hover be

How long do you want it to be?

A real hover is where you can hold the heli in one position....until it runs out of fuel/power .

Its a crucial skill....because anyone can zoom about and show off but mastering the basic skills is much more important...in my opinion anyway.

Hi there,

Hawkman is right here

It might feel like its hard just now and you'll never hold it for more than a few seconds but you get there. Sooner or later you'll be able to hover out a whole battery. When you can do that, its time to think about doing something else. lol.

Just to add to what hawkman said, tail in instinctive hovering is your "lifeboat" as you progress through learning to fly. Try something... If it goes, wrong, get it instantly back to tail in hover. Catch your breath, try again.

Good luck... Azzy
