Torque rolling foamy

[PATTERNPAUL at cs.com]

Hi all,

       I was flying my foamy tonight and was actually able to torque roll and 
hover about a foot of the ground for the first time in a semi-controlled 
state.  These things are great 3D trainers, although I think my 1/3 Sukhoi does 
harriers and elevators better.  Could be my setup or power setting on the foamy 
though.  I did this for almost the full 20 minute battery run and didn't even 
break a prop.  I have an APC 11x7 that I am going to try soon to see how I 
like it compared to the GWS 12x6.  BTW, do any of you use prop savers?  I bought 
one at my local hobby shop, but have not tried it yet.  I am flying a Himax 
4100, GWS D gearbox, CC 25 speed controller and 3 cell Lipos.  What is the 
approximate current draw with this setup?  I think this is a pretty standard setup. 
 Especially for those of us flying the Fancy Foam planes.  Sorry to be 
rambling on and on, but I was excited with my flying tonight and wanted to share my 
experience.  Now, if I can control the torque rolling and  just hold a hover I 
will be even happier.  I even landed by catching the plane from a hover 
tonight.  That was a first for me too.  Hope everone has been keeing them in the 
air.
