Hello, thanks for the response. I must have some issue that I will have to investigate further. It does not seem to affect performance.
About hovering the EH101, I recently made a major breakthrough in hovering. I was depending on the Vertical Speed Indicator, and after giving that much thought, payed more attention to the Attitude Indicator. At speed, I'll nose-up the EH101 10-15 degrees into the blue section of the indicator until the speed drops to zero. Then, while controlling torque with the pedals, drop the nose to between 5-10 degrees into the blue to maintain zero speed. To hover, you need to keep both hands and both feet busy. Use small movements of the controls. You can climb or descend while slowly operating the throttle, and if you anticipate lateral movement, you can control the hover with the torque pedals.
I find the EH101 easier to hover than the Jetranger or R22, but using the Attitude Indicator instead of watching the VSI seems to be the key to hovering. I can now hover the R22 at all altitudes. I was having trouble with the R22, constantly losing control, but now now.
Hope this helps.
Howard
