I can't hover either, not even on the sim! What really su&*$ is I watch my youngest son knife edge the field at low levels, hover at 20 feet, do rolling circles and he has been flying 3 months.
My oldest son went up for the first time 2 weeks ago and the instructor never took it from him. He took off, flew 10 minutes and landed (greased it I may add). The instructor cut the cord saying "what does he need me for"? He has about 25 flights since and is starting to fly some aerobatics now.
Through all this I still have trouble flying inverted! Guess I'm just too old
