5 Mistakes EVERY FPV Pilot Makes! 

i agree

Agreed

Feels natural.

Best episode I've seen from RR

SaME

The worst!!

JSKCKNIT Did it last week after a crash... was so happy that nothing was damaged that I turned it off after retrieving it in the woods then forgot to turn it on when I flew again! With my ability you didn’t miss much! 😂😂

Or you forget to hit record, then land and push the button... recording your battery change... then you shut it off again when you go to fly.

All the time😆

All the freckin time

hateeternalmaver very well said 😂

Lol!!! I want to hear the story

Do tell

@@AGILISFPV well, I love flying with my buddies but some of them really don't care at all. Last time we met up at one of my spots. Been flying there for three years never had any trouble but of course everyone else kept flying near and over houses that are far away enough to not annoy the people there if you just fly the spot. Anyway, cops were called and we had to leave. I'm always trying to be respectful with my quad but some of my friends keep orbiting people, fly over traffic, close to residential houses etc. etc. ;)

hateetermalmaver - Actually this is a very, very good tip. I've had this happen twice. One time our group had permission to take over the Oviedo Mall here in Florida and do indoor drone racing with whoops. The new guy wanted to come with us when we had a meeting with the staff which was just fine. But I noticed he brought a GPS drone with him. I said, dood, we aren't flying today. We have to wait until the day. And dood, that drone isn't meant to fly indoors - you'd take off and then it would attempt to keep it's position and you will lose control. He said, ok. So then we split up and we hear a commotion in the food court! LoL! He launched his goofy anafi and what a surprise, it tried flying to it's last known position or something and it tried to escae through the rafters haha. Security had to bring in the big bucket lifter thingy, and needless to say our race day that we had planned for two months had to become an RC truck race. Bah! I won't bother with the other story, but that's a very good tip. If you have a favorite flying spot, don't bring someone that will ruin it for you in the future.

Man that episode was ages ago. Good memory!

Stoner move. Lol

I forgot my sd card completely. I was on a dolomite peak, too :D After landing I wanted to look at the video so badly and... where is the SD card? :(

Thats a nightmare.

7. hitting the failsafe by accident.

I don't even know how or what that does 🤣

@@AidanRooney95_Life 8. Not knowing there was a failsafe

9. Setting the failsafe at 100%

@@EdoRVerhoef we all start at 0

😂😂😂

It's like a whole new experience every time ;)

Lol, I was about to make that joke.

Dont worry we will still tune in to hear you ranting even if you are old man Simpson making lines about yelling at the clouds.

Hahah, nah man, your channel is quite educational. Even if I don't agree with everything you say, I got huge respect for you. :)

Yeah, sometimes is require to carry climbing gear in the trunk. And a machete.

@@justinmedina2050 I've been fortunate in my region so far. All I've had to use is a 50' rope with some weight on the end.

Drumstick Scarecrow very true!

@@sunsetpark_fpv That's very similar to what I use. I have about 50 feet of utility rope that I got from the camping section at Walmart, and I tie a padlock to the end of it for weight. Hasn't failed me yet.

Haha I just purchased a collapsible stick for that reason. Now I need a ladder, small grappling hook, and some paracord. Now that I’ve been getting out into the field, I’ve been wondering if some sort of retrieval tips article or video would be a handy.

And don't panic when it runaways at half throttle when you don't have the props on. It does that on Kiss and BF 4.1. Freaked me out AF.

Mc. Kwad I'm too lazy for that... most of the time i just throw a towel over my quad so in case the motor turn on they block... saves a lot of time 😁

Hey now that’s a solution. I’ve heard of battery straps on the props but that seems like nearly as much work as just taking them off. I like the towel idea, I usually just hold it down with my foot.

"Don't panic" and "towel" gave me associations to Hitchhikers guide.. Towels really can be useful.

Sasha Grim it only missed the number 42😀

ooo truth.

Especially when you cause them to crash into a tree or damage their equipment.

thats not a fail, i do that intentionally 🤣 /s

TBS solves your Problem :D I can plug in my Unify at 800mW next to a Whoop Pilot with 25mW without causing trouble...

@@dominikk7497 But not if you are on the same channel. Which does happen all the time.

So true!!

what's flightone?

@@etyrnal looks like its a betaflight alternative (so its probably garbage and not going to be updated)

Totes

I flew 400 miles and forgot my charger once

You will be rich in 1month for sure, WE NEED AN EU WAREHOUSE

Contact them, save your $, work out a deal, make a massive order to cut down on shipping costs and or get them to have it drop-shipped to you (it's all Chinese anyway)........go to town.

I will open up the warehouse personally if rotor riot wants to collab on this

I love shooting to the moon, who cares if its not highly skilled I think its fun to drop from up high and look around.

please do you have the video?

Just had that happen last week!!

1 video a day is a lot of work

it is an undeniably satisfying sound 😈 -Drib

Same here...I'm still learning!

@@RotorRiot I need that sound as a ringtone!

I agree on that one... I just power-looped from one massive building to the next one... it was awesome and looks amazing!

Or maybe...just maybe... you fly just to fly and couldn’t give 2 cents about footage. Not everyone in the hobby is a content creator. Which in this hobby, and many other hobbies, are a dime a dozen. The people I fly with are all about perfect lines and settings on the gopro ect... seems I’m the only one anymore that has fun when we meet up.

@@apsfpv2217 Right! I power loop my ass off, do flips, rolls, and pop-ups whenever the opportunity presents itself. I fly for the fun of it, and the escape from daily life. If I get good footage in the process, so be it, but that's not the primary reason I fly. Everyone has their own way of flying. Just because a certain someone thinks it's not cool or it's boring, or he's gotten to big for those things, it doesn't mean the next person shares the same mentality. Some people like myself still enjoy the hobby for what it is, A fun ass flight involving a bunch of random shit combined with a bunch of random shit.

there is a time and place for Lunar Launches; the start/end of a video, transistions between buildings/objects, or to get a good view of the entire area you are playing in. But to Launch to the moon every time?

@@xaphanofthenightfall1257 Every time?.....Yes. If your batteries dont come down puffed did you really even fly?

loved that turtle mode bit

From the interviews it seems like no one gets paid at Rotor Riot. So probably not much of a raise.

Nick Parks just be patient and understanding like anything else worth doing practice practice practice. It’s addicting and expensive. Bad combo but the addictive side always wins.

licensetodrive yes for real. that’s why i now have set of metrics sockets and 1/4” driver in my car trunk

All over Fpv content! Get better dude!

lol seems so! (Hi Nurk!)

just call me driblet

It's fun to learn without worrying about crashing your expensive to repair CCPM helicopters. I've attached DJI FPV to them and now *finally* have a micro quad with DJI. Now I can learn better flight techniques without too much anxiety. :-)
