I bought Mr. Steele's quad for $900. Now what? 

the low throttle resolution does come from his motor-prop combo. He did explain some time ago when he switched to 6S that he's working on making it feel just like his 2350kV 4S. Those watermelon props are really part of it, if you switch to normal 5x4.3x3 V1S you'll see you already lose a bit of that resolution, the throttle becomes more agressive, but the handling improves a bit as a tradeoff

This looks way smoother than the other 3 packs a days

Incredible!!! I've never flown FPV before, but now I want to try it too. You are so much fun to watch. RESPECT!!!!

Fantastic flying, Joshua!!! Pretty impressive! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Been following this method for 3 months and now I feel some improvement happening, thanks for always providing such helpful content 🤩🤩

"Do i look like Steele?" **crash**

Best flying video I’ve seen you do. Loved you trying new things👍🏼

Nice session Joshua. I really like seeing the crashes and resulting quad issues and not just a perfect boring session.

Wow... super smooth... enjoyed watching u fly.

I swear you never seem to run out of sick runs....your an amazing flow pilot very impressive...new to fpv

Just built one I’m well pleased with mine. Nice flying J. 🤛

Ur an excellent pilot. Very intelligent and YES I learne alot frm you today and everyday. Thanks brother.

Great flying, first view of the family man, nice!

Oh how I wish I had that big ass yard to play around in every day!

Can't wait for the Comparison Review... I just got the Cidora SL5-E a bit ago

I don't know why but It feels like it is a lot smoother than your other quad😁😂

U inspired me to build my first quad and learn fpv. 👍❤️thx

Plot twist of the century: "I'm Joshua Bardwell, and I'M gonna learn something today"

“Do I look like Steele?” Mmmmm . . . But, really, 3 packs without a single orbit? That is not a Mr. Steele session. You’re still waaaaay better than me, and I really enjoy your content. After about a 5-year break from the hobby, I’m getting back into fpv, and your channel has helped me get back up to speed very quickly. A lot has changed. There is a lot more available today, which is both good and a little overwhelming. Keep up the good work, and thank you!

Nice personal style you have developped. Seemingly so effortless!

I'm not sure why but watching this made me happy. A lot of refinement in that setup over the years.

Awesome run!

Today i flown first time after like 8 hours of simulator. If you exclude blown esc it felt amazing. Really happy to join fpv comunity.

Great vid Josh Cheers !

Watched coz even though you said this isn’t a review, I knew you’d end up reviewing it 😛

I find it crazy how good his video feed is. Those extra boards he has on really makes a huge difference

Nice job JB. Love ur new bird

Very interesting, i like your fly with "the kiss". i hope your betaflight setup can do the same thing and i can learn something new from you sir

Great stuff. You definitely flew more like Steele than you usually do - I noticed that before you decided on the theme for the three packs. When you said, 'do I look like Mr Steele?' I was thinking, that's a bit more Steele like - really hard, sharp turns, almost racer style. An interesting contrast would be to try to 'fly like Steele' on your usual rig.

It's a truly wonderful flight. Bro😎👌🏻

What about a betaflight test in that quad leaving the rest of the components the same? I'd be interested in the results

I think you definitely flew like Steele in this video! The snappy throttle definitely sounds/looks like Steele! I guess that's due to the motor prop combo and kiss as you explained. Nice flying as always Mr. Bardwell. You definitely always impress me with your freestyle abilities.

So cool to see you fly Steele's same quad setup. Your not supposed to crash...he he. Your already flying way different. Wonder if your new neighbors are cool?

For a long time back in the day i flew kiss FC and ESCs and loved them. Still have some old Kiss setups and have a 2 modern kiss builds. On the track (hubby and I are racers first but fly a lot of freestyle as well) Betaflight is all we fly. When we freestyle 15 to 20 packs with our BF quads then fly a few packs on the KISS quads its such a different experience. KISS flies so damn clean so long as you have fresh props on that it's amazing. Yes kiss is amazing at handling prop wash with clean props when you tie that in with light props and 6s 2306 torque the low load props are man handled by the motors you have such fine resolution of throttle in the idle to 60% range that it gives a level of control that makes you not want to fly anything else. A clean kissed quad, 6s 1750kv 2306s and new light load props equal a thing of beauty that flies cleaner then even the best setup BF or any other flight for that matter quads... Kiss is a different experience in the air it really is.

"Oooh, the motors are HOT, oh yeah wow oh yeah they're not happy... Oooh the OSD is bouncing all over, yeah something's not happy..." **Sends it**

The proximity moves you did made it feel a lot like steele. Well done JB, you're ridiculously good at flying nowadays.

The mind-blowing throttle control comes from the ESC's and those sweet, sweet melon props

Yeah. You are a ninja, and a legend, Mr. Bardwell. Cheers!

You are definitely improving man!

Can definitely see the difference with you flying the quad because we you see you in all other aspects including your video and when you get a hold of this I can see where it is better than your normal quad I can definitely see the throttle control

Dang that's some mighty donde flying. So it's been the KISS the whole time like he's been telling us. Looks super smooth. You made that look easy.

This is what Kiss does! Yeah thats the best you have ever flown! Congrats JB level uped today!

JB those rips were so fresh and so clean to me. You actually seemed to fly like Steele today. Way to go my dude. I was totally impressed man.😷👍🏽

Your freestyle is looking great Joshua

Funny you mention the thrust always being there. I've noticed that with Steele's flying he can make lighting fast changes to attitude and its just on rails. I've always imagined him just setting up a sim to what he considered perfect and reversed engineered it irl.

Its the props the lower pitch means the higher rpm at lower throttle and also motors spool up fast from light weight.

@joshua Bardwell You can turn on voltage warnings and set up becon mode on the osd through the Impulse OSD gui.. You can also set up other things and reposition your OSD and change fonts ect..

Love your videos. Keep it up. 👍🔥

Looks so good bro

You fly like a newbie, and that is refreshing to see... Yer learnin'! Steele flys with yawthority!

Can’t wait for the review!

12:37 Steele would hit that V gotta get in the Vs my guy!

Great video - enjoyed that...

the fpv cam looked better than the GoPro footage, lol. As for Kiss Equipment? Hell yeah, you did great. loved the flight action you were doing it. Big difference.

Don't know why but it is so relaxing watching this series 😂🙌

The DVR picture looks really good

Hey JB, I fly both my own builds of steeles copters, alien and apex which I build and tune to almost exactly what Steele flies. I fly a bunch of copters on betaflight, aliens, chameleons and roosters etc. and I find that I can switch between each with no real sense of a difference, but I tend to tune my betaflight builds in much the same manner as I do my kiss builds. Was interesting to watch this video, I think it actually made a difference in your style of flying. Whether that's been a conscious shift or just you adjusting to his tune and build, IDK, but it was very cool to see. Have always enjoyed your channel over the years, keep it up!

Looks so nice there.

No joke.. You've improved just by flying his setup :)

I been doing 2 packs and following your 10 tips

You flown better...definitely!!

Dang Josh looks pretty good man. I just graduated to a little bit bigger quad. About to add Maiden flights to my channel.

Gosh darn, looks like that thing flew pretty well.

Good rips sir, love how you told you are talking to you quad, get out of there.

Those S3 props help alot with throttle control on a lightweght build

Would love to take one of those for a test drive! Was excited when I saw this video seems like there actually is something to Kiss after all

Whoa, as many of your videos I have watched and I just realized I hadn't yet subbed. Your son at the end made me realize this! I made it so....

I have been asking you for over a year to try Kiss it's about time.

I bought the Apex frame .. its the most stable drone I have ever flown ,,, but you will have to extend the 03 air camera ,, really have to change the way the camera sets in the quad .. I took thr front bars off and cut those two tabs you see off then zip tied it down ,, much better , the frame is big and heavy 1750 kv motors are the best for this quad because its heavy bigger motors drain the battery to fast

Once you go Kiss you never go back! Well, maybe...awesome brother!👊👊👍👍

Damn josh your freestyle has progressed a lot. Keep it up brother

It's KISS. I have a BQE bandolero w/2207 hypetrain motors on 5s running it and the throttle control/response is insane.

I ordered the Apex Mr.steel 6s DIY version from Team Black Sheep! Backorder of course...

JB flying KISS? I never thought I'd see the day! You loved it didn't you JB, admit it!

Looks pretty smooth to me

such a nice drone

Very cool. Similar to Steele flying , but he's quicker snaps and rolls. Some moves are just a blur. And he likes perching on things. 😊 You've done an iNav build, now would be awesome if you did a kiss build. How about a budget kiss build using FETtek fc and esc.? 👍 Happy flying. 💖

You make me freakin' out Josh!

“I’m gonna learn something today” got me good somehow haha

You have to put the sticker on the quad before you can put it in the tree. Haven't you seen Steele's video? 🙂 Great stuff.

The tune sounds 100% awesome

That throttle control is a caricature of kiss and the osd jumps cause it's a graphical osd gotta set it like the brain radix you were in the shade looking at a bright sky and yard

I would totally watch your daily progression videos

@1649 Joshua, you need to turtle mode while upright. It will usually cut the grass my friend 👍

Does seem to fly pretty good.

Do you and Mr . steele do some trainer cable session. Nice flying Mr. Bardweryvell.

The thing that gets me most about this video is that I have it on in the background as I'm working on a quad, and it sounds like Steele flying, but it's Bardwell talking.

I've missed a few of your three packs a day videos... Holy smokes you look like a different pilot!

I knew the flight looked smoother....KISS all the way..😁

Really waiting for Steele's comment in this video! 😊

I'm a kiss flyer, so happy to see you finally have a second kiss video lol. I know you said you prefer to know it all about one ecosystem and not a bit or every other, but it's so little what you need to learn from kiss lol. There are two things you said that you picked very right very fast. Propwash starts to be noticeable after props get damaged in kiss, and control after crash is the best in my opinion. Hope to see more kiss stuff from you. Btw I myself will never spent $900 as much as I like kiss. Building it is what my wallet allows me to do.

Steele in slow mode 👌super smooth

Hi Josh, love the channel, is it possible in the near future you would cover setting up the flysky fs i8 with a quad as there are no videos on the hole of google only 3-4 that do a review ?

s3's with a fast spinning motor will give you nice throttle response.

I think a lot of the throttle control is the S3s. They're pretty amazing in that regard. Try the 51433 hurricanes on it -- I get better propwash handling with those but less throttle control. Also funny you noticed more propwash with beat up props, I was just thinking that the other day. I don't change props as often on my BF build, I just keep bending them back and everything seems fine. KISS seems to lose a good bit of performance as the props get wobbly so I'm inclined to change them sooner. Also Steele has definitely said before that his flying style really is just fly around fast and avoid hitting stuff :P You certainly looked more like steele than usual

Send it!

Josh I've had quiet some time away from flying.. I mean like a year but you seemed to be quiet smooth tbh. Edit, mate I've watched a few of your newer videos and you seem more confident in this vid. Nice flying

The turtle mode recover was like steel assssss for the flying not quite 😂😂😂😂😂👍

oh yeah that quad sounds so much like mrsteele's quad. I think definitely the quad defines your style of flying. Now looks a lot more like MrSteele.

When you were flying like steele before that crash it looked legit!
