where do you look when you hover?

[OverTemp]

When the canopy is toward me I bias toward the nose.

When the belly is toward me I bias toward the tail.

Reason is that this is how the rudder relationship works... when canopy is toward you left rudder moves the nose left. When belly toward you, left rudder moves the tail left. Makes it easier.

Yup, makes it alot easier for me this way, every little movement can be seen and corrected.

canopy and a glance at the tail once in a while so I don't have to recover the rudder when I get home.....

Same here

Whatever makes you feel more comfortable and in best control of the plane.

For me? I look around the canopy/hatch area. When the belly is facing me, I like looking at the mufflers for some reason haha. I can also see my throttle servo moving hehe.

Thats exactly what I do. And then when I bring it in real close I make quick glances at the tail and back up to the hatch in front of the canopy to be sure I dont hit the rudder on the ground.
