How to Flip a Quadcopter - KK2 Stick Scaling | Flite Test 

I love the huge crack in the rear left boom that you can see when David dials the scaling up to 250. You can tell he's been having a lot of fun with that copter. :)

I'm flying my Small CC3d Quad in Rattitude mode, and it's really fun. The "tipp" with less throttle really was helpfull. I've set my "off" throttle to 5% with trim so my blades always spinning.

Hey, David, I like that "let's do that" Best way to go crazy is go to the limits!!!! Way to go! Must state - FT, you are BEST! Thank you for your splendid job!!! Wish you post episodes every day, at least... Best wishes, Dmitrij

Come on, his style is rocking it out!!! Don't let them change you David.

while every one tries to remain inside the BOX, David just open the BOX and jumps out...... and that is why i love to watch DAVID doing new things....... :-) cheers from INDIA.

I used this tutorial to do my first backflip and roll today!!!!!!!!!

Dual rates are limited by the stick scaling. Stick scaling is the absolute range. Whereas the expo setting is relative to that range. I hope that helps. -Chad

The more I watch flite test videos the more I want to get into RC.

one of y'alls best so far!!!!

is it just me or at 5:22 did the back left arm have a split in it?

Much love from the UK. You guys are just

Coming soon!

Welcome!

Nice job flying & Nice video !

Definitely getting a batbone once they come back in stock, have all the components ready but the frame!

This is pretty cool and right on keeping the props turning and moving prop greats more drag slowing the fall a stopped prop=fall but I wonder if flips can be done quicker with brake and reverse tho need some fast acting motors. I live reverse confuses people when you fly upside down tho I suck at it and I fall outta the sky alot

This channel is so brilliant for learning what not to do ... ;-)

Very informative and entertaining :) Talent galore

If you are running any of the cleanflight variants, set up a switch for air mode so that you can put the throttle on its lowest setting and still have control, which flite test covered in a more recent video. If you don't use cleanflight, set an idle up switch on your radio to increase the minimum throttle to achieve the same effect

v tail bat bone is on the wish list.. great video.

nice vid, i was waiting for it!

Wonderful video. My tri wouldn't be down with broken parts had I read more OR seen this video a few weeks ago :-)))). Thanks guys, as always.

Had one of mine set at 2300 love it. Feel like i dont move my stick. But. I got a kk 2.5.1 board. And all my new quad whants to do. Id flip over back wards with it being stock. It just refuses it go forword

You two are good hosts

nice video, thank you... can you explain the futaba expo application here?

GUYS U ROCK! U listened to me thanks sooo much!

I know I am not the only one thinking this but could you use helicopter transmitter programing and variable pitch props(from a 3d airplane) to fly upside down. You could really cut some grass with a quad. You should try it just for fun. Also I just got some kk2 boards so I will wait for your any copter to be back in stock so I can build one. Thanks to all of you for the great channel. David, I hope you never leave.

Thanks. I still love your place in the episodes, this big open wide area :-)

Wow.. kinda scary.. always great advise and tutorials… Gotta try this today!!!

thanks for posting all of your helpfull videos, is there one explaining i gain and p gain and limits? what do they do? is one for normal mode and one for self level?

I love the way David dresses

siempre mostrando ,buenos videos ,y buena calidad de video

awsome vid guys info i was looking for thanx ..

just built a 260 size v-tail using 5x4.5 on the front and 5x4 on the rear, its a fun fly. when teh weather permits its flippy time i usualy fly a 450 and a 230 quad wanted somthing inbetween a tri and a quad. i use a kk 2 mini and some simonk 12amp escs with a 3c 1300mah 45-95 nanotech motors are 2350kv

What do you have the scaling on the rear with 9" props up front and 8" on the rear?

Very cool....good job! Mark

Great job. I got my batbone and I'm almost done with it. Cant wait to maiden it. Hope to see more creations from you guys soon. Did I hear about skids?

i have 3! love it!

I got a MQX quad last Christmas and really not able to fly it could you do a comparison between scratch built and off the shelf Quads for ease of flying.

Great video I've been wondering how to flip for a while. Can you guys do KK2.0 P&I Gains and Limits video that explains what they do and how to set them up. I've watched countless videos of setting them up and people flying them round looking super stable but every time I think I've nailed it the next flight it wobbles all over the place again. Thanks for all the tips and keep up the good work!

Does anyone know what model receiver is being used in this video. I know it's an orange rx but is like to know what model it is? Thumbs way up to david and josh! Thanks.

Very nice video guys! can u make a reciver ready kit of this v-tail quadcopter for us to buy from your site? evrything exept radio - reciver- battery? thanks!

I think you guys should have a contest to see who can build the oddest looking quad copter that can fly fast.

Nice video!!!

Can you tell me what i would need to make my quad return to home,is there a control board that will do this? i have the kk2 board now.

Can you make the v tail mounts at 30 degrees, please?

FT delta? That wing that josh flew last episode was awesome

this is a little off topic but when u but the eletronic for ur swapplble do u have to solder then or can u just plug then in

I had a little walkera ladybird sadly I broke it, but I am building my own any-copter using the plans that are online. im also build a aerotech profile Messerschmitt bf 109, which is a paim can wait to see what they do next

A Chad/Bixler vs. David/Scott competition would be interesting. Builder/Pilot teams pairing off in different challenges.

Can you do a video on KK2 setup. Especially for David's Tri settings?

It would be awesome if you would make some contests for the viewers where we have to build something you decide.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS WITH STICK MOVEMENTS>

Will you make a sbk high wing swappable trainer????

SO TRYING THAT!! Whats the battery you are using? i have the same motors but getting 5min flight time with 3s 2500mah :(

Sure... the prop size and kv still needs to be a god match for the plane though.

What is the type of motor u r using ? Kv ? Thrust gms ?

So will we see a v-tail kit or just the motormounts?

I agree with the previous posters A SCRATCH BUILT DLG for first timers!!!!!!!!!!! something I want to build soon

What do you guys think of the new DX9?

hey guys ur not answering my email so what size speed controller did david use on the mustang when you did the speed challenge. i want to make one really bad

Is it possible to do the same thing in dual rates, that way I can just flip a switch on my radio to do flips and rolls? I want to keep my setting for smooth FPV, but can change it to "3D" just by flipping a switch on my radio

Always.

'whats the highest? '250. but.. that's pretty crazy.' 'that is really crazy.' 'so let's do that!'

wich props do you use ?

NICE VID AS ALL WAYS DUDE YOS ARE BAD ASS

With that frame what frame type is configured in FC, still quadcopter X ?

Do you think others would like this? We can't do it with prizes though... anytime we try to do contests with prizes it brings out the worst in the community. What kind of contest were you thinking?

Great video as always gents. You must be trucking that timber in for laser cut by now he guys... Would like to see you make some decent laser cut tool boxes like HK, but make them good as the ones they make are a pretty crappy design.

How do you know that I've been struggling with the stick scaling on KK2.0 just yesterday? Checking youtube, and what do you know - flitetest has a tutorial for me! Thanks a lot! :]

Hi guys could you please suggest a transmitter that is not too expensive but I deal for a quadcopter build. Thanks

Is it possible to to increase expo on a 1sq rtf

mqx is a pretty micro quad, these are pretty big. same physics but the little one has much less inertia so it's a lot more touchy.

5:32 - horizontal stripes tight tshirt is definitely a no no! ;)

Another great episode I surely wish you guys was doing this one a few months ago when I was learning how to do flips but hey better late then never lol. At least now I would know how to set up with a KK2 board thanks to you guys keep up the fun and insightful vids!

Please can someone send me a link for a bat bone?

thanks man !!

Good ol' Quadcopter I'd say, depends on if you want to build it yourself or buy something that is ready to go. HobbyKing has it all. (They even have a micro Quad that is ready to fly for not a crazy amount of money, now even available with the superb KK2.0 board!)

Stick scaling has to be set on the kk2 first to allow it the extra manoeuvrability. Then you can still use dual and expo rates to tone it down for normal flight. The tx can't adjust what's not there to start with so if stick scaling is 50 then the tx uses 100% of 50. If scaling is 100 then tx uses 100% of 100. You could put tx DR at 50% and have it the same as the first example. Is that kind of clear.

"You are banging the stick so hard"

Do a competition to see who to get to 1000ft off the ground quickest!

Is the v-tail in the store?? Cant find it :(

I ordered two kk2.1 boards and they both have the same issue. M1 output sends the wrong signal to whatever ESC I plug in. It makes any motor start like the others and then accelerate very fast. This is on a level surface after ACC calibration and ESC calibration. If I plug motor 2 on M1 output, then motor 2 accelerates. If I plug motor 3 on M1, then motor 3 accelerates and so on. I tried everything possible. I reflashed both boards with all the firmwares available many times. It flies but it's very jittery because of that issue. Anybody got an idea? Am I so lucky that I got 2 bad boards?

Can any one help me my quadcopter is a qav250 is really unstable even in self level it is a kk2.1 board any help???

Is he flying acro-mode here or does the KK have a mode like "horizon" on MultiWii which is basically a hybrid between acro and self-level?

We try :)

how much would this approximately cost?

Ive got no problem flipping quadcopters, catching it the other side, now thats a whole different thing

RC Royalty!

Punch it, David! Punch harder! :) Exelent video!

would a quadcopter motor work in a plane?

4:46 That's what she said

Same thing my wife said when we sat to watch. -Chad

Also, David can you strap something like a rocket or a EDF turbine on the top of a quad for forward thrust and show us what happens.....

Nice

you should do a quad with adjustable pitch blades so you can fly inverted and whatnot. it would be AWESOME X10 to the power of 42 also you should put the orangerx t-six through its paces. see what it can and can't do

CAN YOUS TELL ME WITCH PLANE IS THE BEST ON EBAY FOR BOUT £50 I NEED KNOW PLZ TELL ME GUYS

You guys should flash the KK 2 with the 3D software!

O YA CAN YOUS TELL ME WITH PLANE IS THE BEST ON EBAY FOR BOUT £50 I NEED TO KNOW

I tryed a flip with my sk450, i was about 150 feet up in the air and the quad fliped but it lost so much altitude that it almost hit the ground the first, the third time it did hit the ground and i had to buy a new sk450 :(
