    This tutorial will show you how to perform power loops with your quadcopter or other multirotor. Power loops are simple to do, but without seeing what somebody else's sticks are doing, they can be a bit of a mystery at first. This video includes sticks overlay so that you can see exactly what my sticks are doing.

    After struggling to do this trick im glad i you made this video. Didnt realize the trick was to keep that pitch angle the same all the way throught the loop. Hence the reason its a LOOP. Thank you!!

    Truly enjoy your videos man, without them, I do not believe I would have as deep an understanding of PIDS, BB, stick movements as I do. I naturally have the "feel" of how to do certain things, but some things I watch you guys do and wonder "how do they do it so smooth?" Well, Enter Joshua Bardwell, the man I say is the UA-cam MultiRotor authority! Many thanks for your videos man, I will watch every one!

    I did my first powerloop yesterday but I didn't know how to do it properly. Luckily it didn't crash. The first 270 degree loop was fine then beyond it, I wasn't aware I need to throttle down and keep pitch stick at one point only. I was moving it. Here it is - ua-cam.com/video/-k-rENgP2tU/v-deo.html Thank you for including the stick overlay on this video. Now I know what to do next time I try powerloop!

You make a nice point on the right stick and really just working the throttle to keep it smooth and symmetrical. Sure wish I could fly under 2.5.3 but 2.3.5 is going to have to do for me now. Thanks for putting this out and nice job.

    • @BorisBnow
      @BorisBnow 8 років тому +2

      Yes you can hold throttle whole the time that keeps the momentum which is the real power loop as people do LOS. Actually the best way to learn what is going on is by flying LOS....you can see what is going on. with fpv your more less blind during the move

      @basstrom88 8 років тому

      I definitely agree about LOS! I was shitting myself when trying to learn power loops in the "tunnel vision" of FPV (especially when looking up at the sky). I tried it LOS and quickly learnt how the quad behaved during different stick movements and just how much room for error I had before hitting the ground :) I've been doing the same with inverted manoeuvres as well.

    • @jamesordwayultralightpilot
      @jamesordwayultralightpilot 6 років тому

      Yeah it's all got to do with camera angle. If you work your way up to 60 degrees you can see more of the path your quad is traveling and you don't need to let off as much....right Joshua?????

    does your quad have Sixaxis you know 3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer. or is it in 100% manual where if a beginner were to yaw a little they would go out of control

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  8 років тому

      All multirotors have at least a six axis gyro. Without that, you just couldn't fly at all.
