Default Foamy Hovering

I just posted a foamy video and I thought I'd share it here in the teen forum.
Anyone else doing any in-house flying this winter? Gyms are cheating! The video is at my dorm.

I'm still getting used to the foamy and electrics in general so it isn't nearly as good as most videos out there. Dang these things are twitchy! I'm still getting used to rolling harriers with the foamy bipe. As soon as you give rudder it pulls up into a hover. I've resorted to just using elevator to steer it around in rollers. Anyway, there's my first video.

regarding your rudder remark,
if the plane is a bipe designed to have extra side area(i.e. byp yak, tensor etc.) this is your problem
the fuselage already is basically giving rudder input when it is turned on its side
so any more and its forced up into the hover
i actually have to give my byp yak opposite rudder in knifeedge flight haha
