I'm just starting to get into 3D flying, this has been one of the hardest things for me to learn.

I tried out a few of the tips in this video yesterday, and found I could prop hang much longer than I could previously.

Thanks !

1) The biggest myth with hovering is you need a big prop, this is usually said by people who like to talk theory and actually can't hover.
2) Next myth buster is gyros help,,,, to many people trying to jump the basics and in the long run it takes much longer because you never actually 'learned' the basics.
3) Many think hovering is just hanging there as motionless as possible, but hovering is torque rolling, dirty hover, slow flat spin, funnel hover, stationary knife edge,stationary rolling harrier (when windy), slow torque roll circle (i only know one person whom can do this)) ) and of course the endless entries and exits to a hover.

Are you watching the prop end or the tail for adjustments?

Ok on hovering, I am watching the center of the airframe to tell if it is starting to go away, toward you or side to side, the trick is to be a bit intuitive to what it is going to do and make small adjustments. It takes a bit of practice and patients.

I agree.... I used to watch the tail myself but then starting watching the center of the airframe and that made all of the difference for me.
