Default Hovering funtana S140 with 3W 28

Hi,

I'm trying to hover my funtana S140 for sometime now and i have some problems with it ..

The plane jumps all around and sometimes with elerons on maximum to the right still torque rolling (verry annoying) ... I've watch some movies on youtube and i saw the plane hover nice and calm...

The plane has a 3W 28 i with canister ,3W 19x8 and CG around 190 mm (7.4 inch google transformation ) with futaba 9541 all around at 6v .

On the simulator or with foamies or with my profile plane the hover is not a problem.. even with GP Ultimate is not a problem but with funtana is frustrating ... and the plane is build for that...

What CG is recomended for 3D only and where is my problem .. I addmited i'm still a biginer but the hovering should be easy with this plane ..

Thanx

Try moving it about 1" back, so give it more tail weight.

Prop diameter can have a big effect on the torque in hovering. I have the same problem all the time, and it usually takes some rudder, as well as throttle blipping to get the plane in a stable hover.

In a hover try not to pulse the thottle give what it needs, then leave it

Be one with the torque roll
