What it is:

Plane "Hovers" vertically in place, rotating left around its roll axis.

How to do it:

Fly low along the ground at low throttle, and gently add power with up elevator to bring the plane into a vertical position. Some flyers add a little left aileron to get the roll motion started. Add throttle to keep the nose pointed up and make corrections with rudder and elevator to keep things straight.

Trickiest part:

Recognizing your correction when the plane's belly is toward you. (Tip: Think push the rudder toward the low wing when the belly is toward you.) You have to be fast with throttle corrections. Most flyers add "bursts" of power, along with rudder/elevator corrections. If you simply hold full throttle, you'll climb out of the maneuver.

Recovery: Basic-

Worst way to mess up:

An unreliable engine. Torque rolls are tough on engines because they're running at near-peak power with only prop-induced airflow over the head. Some flyers open up the CAP's lower exhaust hole for adequate cooling on hot days.
