SCROLLERS!
Just for you:
• First time flying FPV ...
(Contest is over)
When I first started with fpv I never had any intention of being that good at line of sight but since have video problems I've started to really enjoy LOS! I find having an odd colour prop can help with orientation. I have two the same colour on the back and what ever on the front. Great video, thanks guys!
I can confirm as a beginner that yes, LOS is difficult
This video is the reason I got better at flying line of sight. Thanks Ken! A cool tip for others that helped me is to adjust your radio stick tightness so it isn't as loose. It helped me stay steady by having that bit of resistance on the sticks
Awesome! So glad this helped you.
I just started flying FPV about two weeks ago and I am addicted i don’t know why I waited so long I guess it is harder flying line of sight then with goggles holy shit I didn’t think it would be I now have 3 tiny whoops and they are a blast to fly I’ll be moving up to a 3 inch cinewhoop here soon
Pretty Cool control there, Glad to see you're having such a blast with it all... Now you need to come learn fixed wing...
Yep. That’s how I started too. With a little Hubsan X4. I flew that thing until the board blew out of it. It was the hard way to learn but I feel I’m a better pilot for it. Now flying FPV seems like child’s play.
I fly los all the time. Everytime I go fpv, I do a test hover/fly out of the goggle for 1 pack. Its fun.
Absolutely amazing drone Pilot! Makes flying BEAUTIFUL.
Most Impressive!!! Great job
I found myself flying my AR Drone 2.0 LoS a lot more than FPV. It only had a 50 meter range and the video feed was very choppy. I even ended up putting a bright LED light on it so I'd know which way it was facing. Flew my Phantom 2 LoS for a little while 'til I got the FPV equipment for it. The Course Lock and Home Lock features came in real handy.
I started with an F550 Flamewheel. And went the Phantom route. I briefly tried the F.P.V. Quad route. Singh is REALLY good. 😊
I like that one pack per session! I’ve barely done it.
Great video Ken. Looks like a lot of fun. I’m starting my new FPV experience with the tinihawk 2 ready to fly
I fly every day there's not bad weather, I know you can get very proficient oh yes!!
Pretty good Ken. Yeah, LOS is so much tougher..I tried to LOS on my 1st FPV flight...BIG MISTAKE! LOL
Well said. I'm part of the our Emergency Management team. We train on LOS flying on a simple Syma X5C. We do different exercises. Buy the TOY!!! We fly squares, forward and back and other things to get the stick control and automatic moves down. It takes time. However, what is a good FPV drone to get started on?
i lost my line of sight , i started line of site than fpv lost all that. i will practice more
He is as nervous as you should be. 😂
When i took my license they had us do LOS too, before we could use the screen. They also had us judge the distance to the drone, just so we would get a feel for it. You gotta be able to get the drone back if the video link cuts out. Singh being able to fly LOS with gloves on is kinda amazing :)
Gotta check out quadmover his Los is ridiculous. And I started Los for some reason. Thought it would be easier but did help get used to controls before fpv flight
This is so funny! I like u guys! Keep that Vibe
that was so funny with the girl 😂😂
i came from rc heli the worst thing in this is identify the nose as soon it gets a little far from you hehe. watch the quad flying do some figure 8 and tricks its brings an extra level of bind between you and your quad, every pilot should do sometimes. tkx for this kinda a content that nobody seens to care and its nice to just comtemplate your model sometimes hehe
the guy that got me into this hobby about 5 months ago hates the fact that i fly so well after only 5 months... but he doesnt know ive been flying RC helis and RC planes for 30 years..
he is some pilot,great control over that quad
It's a hard skill to learn, benefit is also you can fly a CP heli. Those little drones are great to learn but you have to find one that can turn the autolevel off. Some are always on which makes it easy to learn basic orientation but not so much acro.
moral of the video: you must find equilibrium in your brain.
He's really good. I do try LOS here and there but it feels like I'm torturing myself. So I put my goggles on and enjoy. 😁
Same here...like I'm torturing myself. In angle mode though I can send it full throttle around the field LOS
Totally agree! LOL
great video ken!
Right now I just hand catch my Avata 2 a few times a day in manual mode with the goggles off. Just to get a few minutes a day practice LOS.
I wish I was half as comfortable as this guy flying LOS. Its very hard, but being able to learn it is amazing for your pilot skills.
Just takes practice.
You'll get there!
@@KenHeronthanks ken. I'm now up to 5-10 minutes a day at the end of my sessions for a week. It's making a huge difference
Nice video
I started with Syma and now flying my pro indoors 👊🏻👍🏻
That's the way to do it. 👍
Never tried it but it looks impressive and fun.
I’m in MD also, not too far from Hagerstown. Where are you flying in Hagerstown.
I have over 4 years of just line of sight your control gets very good and yes it's atamatic your brain and thumb movement yes that's how I'm going from toy grade to race drone line of sight instantly being good at operating in stabilized mode across another beast
That’s a beautiful house on stilts..does it have occupants? Great tutorial quad videos Kent 👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks, that was fun 🤣
Was anybody home at the house? LOL
Great video Ken......
Check out Rcaddict's Los videos. Some of the Best Los I've seen.
Yeah, he wasn’t afraid for “you”. I can fly LOS acro, but need to keep the drone facing forward. In angle mode, I can handle the controls reversing. If you lose track of which is the front in angle mode, you can pitch forward. That does not work well in acro mode.
I fly fpv with a display on my radio. Love to do line of sight and fpv in one flight :)
i always tought this would be a good idea. i wondered why there are no box radios with an integrated FPV Display
@@skatamartin4970 emax box goggles
@@doodgeslagenmug the emax are goggles not a remote with a vtx display
@@skatamartin4970 oh like that. I read “box goggles” for some reason
@@doodgeslagenmug OMG YOU FOOL!
I'm starting to think driving an RC car is a good safe way to learn orientation when it's facing away and towards you.
It’s really easy to make it fly towards you then fly away. Just duck as it passes and then it’s flying away. No biggie. 😂😂
I like fpv, it is hard though
Plot Twist: At 1:34 They Actually Stole The Drone That They Were Flying From That Prime Truck
i flew line of sight first with a bugs 3 then with a five inch put a light on it in the front for oreantion then i leart to fly acro line of sight and arfter about a year then i leard to fly in the googles it was all backwoods it was a money thing couldent aford to buy googles etc so just built a basic kward fc escs 5inch frame etc flew though home made gates and all that that was 3 or4 years ago but i still fly at least one pack los great vid ken have a great day bro
I bet you didn't know 'The RCAddict' in terms of LOS. 😉
Yeah, he's insanely good LOS, the best at LOS no question.
I love flying LOS. Started flying with the Eachine E010/E012 and similar quads.
Later on I tried FPV and I also like it a lot. So sometimes FPV, sometimes LOS. But I still find it difficult flying acro... 😕
Yep. I have tried thumbs and pinching. For the brief session I ran with thumbs only I feel you can make faster corrections without your fingers trying to mimic what the thumbs are doing. Not to mention pinching like that I've noticed limits your further limits of stick travel as my thumbs become scrunched up to their angular limits to keep contact like that at the extremes. Still use pinching because it's a habit I forced early on. Gonna break that useless habit "IMHO" soon.
Lol does it count if I can’t fly my Mavic air 2 with out looking at my screen
Someone was up late. Second video in 24 hrs. Get some sleep Ken! P.S. Flying line of site is a myth! It is not possible!!! I have tried. Clever computer editing...... Bwahahahahaha
LOS is hard for me because of being dyslexic. When the uav turns, my brain glitchs and I get my directions all turned around.
I like to fly los every once in a while just to see the kwad in the air . I guess see what others see when I’m flying fpv
I fly only line of site 10 years now can make any drone dance.
That's great!
Ken, did I see you move your leg ?
I thought you said you really trusted Sing. Lol
Do you have a video on how to fly the dji fpv drone line of sight? Im trying to do it.
Line of sight is super easy if you keep the bird at the right position
Doing good Ken.Bet when you get good you will fly them more than AI drones
Impressive for a first try. Youi can really see that you've been working on you're FPV skills. Always better and everything leads to more. Now about that Car, if it's not a true Combustion Engine, GET RID OF THE CAR!!!!!! LOL, just joking, we know how Ken loves to throw money at that Baby. It's a keeper.
Are you in Maryland?
LOS was bitch . I flew LOS for like 9 months then went to FPV. Which apple and organs difference lol. that was almost 4 years ago.
Nice guy
When you've raced rc cars for years los isn't as big a deal. Or at least the reversed part of it. Lol
Most gamers are thumbers! Just what we've been doing for years!
"Sing" is "Smooth". (And a cool guy.) I fly all day long without goggles and my neighbors in this crowded neighborhood keep calling the police on me. Is it because I fly naked? The women don't complain at all. It's their damn jealous husbands that make all the fuss.
That so cool man I'm scared of the goggles
I started with very cheap no electronics drones. That's exzreme
Who needs a LOS haircut?
Great vid Ken n Sing. I LOS. All my fpv buddies r haters 😉😂
New engine? Yt pays nice 👍🏽😂
Haaaa!
Not UA-cam money.
@@KenHeron 😂
Fun demo video, I Love fpv. I practice los with a toy. I have a hard time with orientation. I'll eventually get there. For what is possible with los flying, check out Quadmovr UA-cam channel. Happy flying. 🤓
👍
What is FPV?
FPV is the most addictive drug on the planet.
@@KenHeron That question was asked regarding the video, little dragon!

✌️✌️✌️
GIve it to me please sir Ken Heron
You fly carma drones so you should be ok
after 3 months of fpv i fly defo betteer than you
There ya go!
It's all about confidence.
Keep practicing and do it in full ACRO.
Angle mode will just teach you bad habits. 🤘
