  • FPV freestyle takes drone flying to a whole other level... with flips, spins, dives, and a whole bunch of impressive tricks that require extreme precision to pull off. This week I tried to get better at it.

    None of your tricks were perfect after a single week, but that imperfection made that last clip more relatable to watch. It made me want to go get better myself. You got me into this hobby, and I'm super thankful for it. Keep kicking ass man!

    Make sure you cut the throttle completely on the inverted yaw spins and it should be more floaty
    Edit: using dynamic idle then turning down your idle percentage will give you even more hang time.

    • @skyhackerfpv7104

      @bandobandit353 3 роки тому +4

      The kwad actually spins 2 of the 4 props to create a yaw motion. So even if you go to zero throttle you'll have some acceleration towards the ground. It's difficult to incorporate into a flow as you typically need the extra height.

    Much like other tricks, the magic to 360 yaw spins is just building momentum before you attempt it so you can cut throttle right away & just use your momentum to hold you upside down. Also how you get the juicy part of a juicy flick.

    @IanFitty 3 роки тому +2

    Inverted yaw spins were the bane of my existence for probably a months worth of trying to nail it. After a combo of higher rates, lower idle rmp, and lower camera angle it was way easier. Lowering the idle reduced the downward pull and making the camera closer to level made the motor plane closer to being parallel with the ground, dampening the wobbling feeling you tend to get. I still can’t really incorporate it into my flow really well. it always feels forced or like an afterthought, like I have to take time to line it up and don’t really know how to transition in/out of it from other moves.
