I know right!? He's come a long way from his first Trippy Spin tutorial that first got Drew's attention back in November 2019! Seems like a lifetime ago, but it's really only been 3 years. I love this video... it was just him and Christian at his local backyard spot in California, killing it with a great tutorial. Very proud FPV Mama ❤
It always looks so smooth when you fly! In this video you said your throttle is not that much responsive. Are u using a throttle courve or throttle expo?
The way you just hover perfectly in front of the gaps you were showing us is a hard enough trick. Thanks for the tips, it is really great to understand some of the tricks that can help us become more competent as pilots! I really appreciate your insights.
Excellent video Bubby! So I've been trying to do a proximity power Loop for a while now without any luck. One of the things I have the most trouble with is getting enough propulsion backwards. I always seem to come down on top of the object I'm trying to power Loop around. So my power Loop is more vertical than a roundish Loop. I've tried punching the throttle before I pitch back to the point where the quad is upside down. I'm guessing if the quad is already upside down I'm too late to increase backwards movement. Does anyone have some tricks I can try.
What settings have you got on betaflight to get you throttle and controls to be smoother? Like you said you can clip your throttle without to much jerking?
Ha ha. Funny you should pick this maneuver because I’ve been working on this based on your technique for rolling or looping small gaps in and around trees for a couple of weeks now. Great tips for better throttle management. Thanks Bubby
@@weekenddroners haha, it's still fun as hell, and I don't see myself not doing it in the future, however I also want to be able to nail the proximity loops as well =D
How do you know how much pitch to use? I understand the idea behind being smooth and trying to be fluid, but when you get into power looping gaps how do you know how to gauge how much pitch to use?
Try out the roll technique practice I went over near the end of the video. It will let you spot the gap and you can get a feel of how much stick input to give
I'm so surprised how smooth the flying is, while stick movements seem to be to the maximum at some points. What rates are you flying? Is this the power of RC smoothing?
This is amazing, I am always impressed how you can easily break down tricks and flying so its easy to understand the process. Keep up the tutorials and I love how you make this look so effortless.
Lower or higher doesn't help keep a tight gap. What helps is understanding how much throttle you need . Keeping it in frame is 100% just you controlling pitch and throttle regardless of your camera angle.
Is that the best antenna config you found? Not sure what I'll do with the VRX, it already has 2 patches so adding one on the TX leaves only 1 omni , but both omnis would have the same orientation so they're kind of redundant, hmmmmmmmm
What are your throttle curve and limit settings here? It kinda seemed scaled, like 85% or 90% - not sure if I'm imagining that. Do more stick cam videos! They're so so helpful.
In my opinion, the answer to "how to progress at flying..." is not practicing any one trick, but is flying with pilots that are better than you. But a powerloop is surely a fundamental trick in your bag that will teach you many techniques, and is so well explained by Bubby!
i agree completely, this was more meant as if you get really good at this trick, every other new trick you learn will be much easier to do just because this trick involves being good at multiple things that apply to almost every trick out there. throttle control, spatial awareness, accuracy, smoothness on stick, and so much more
Really, really nice explained , honestly I am still bad in powerloop gaps because I dont have some to work pn just out of concrete Walls and they hurt way more than a branch, our trees have so much lil Branches on the big ones no way to get through here , hmm I need to build me a gate to train that I guess
This is good to know I find this video extremely useful. I think once I finish this next build this is going to be what I start practicing. I really appreciate you posting this thank you
I love how you are using your drone as precise laser pointer when explaining upcoming trick. You now challenged me to find some good trees/obstacles around where my 6" could fit before I build something smaller :)
I think a power loop is the first trick a pilot want to undertake anyways as it’s the easiest to do but slightly harder to make it looks nice and smooth.
Great video! These precise small power loops are where I struggle. You should try Gimbal Ghost for these tutorials to make the stick movements clearer.
I have an idea for your video: Try different sizes of props on your drones like try small probs it will be exciting and if u do make this video can you say i gave you an idea😊
While I do find these videos helpful, one this I don't like is how other feel about your flying. I've been fly for 4 years and only fly for my own enjoyment. Focus on how you do the tricks make you feel. If you get excitement from it awesome! But don't try to please others with your flying. It's only you in the goggles. Fly for you and just have fun. I get people can make money flying but I also feel like that has tainted the community. Don't try to be the guy that has the best content. Try to be the guy that has the most fun for themselves.... Great tutorial bubby 🤙
I have almost 20 hours in the sim (liftoff) and I keep making up exercises like this to help my control get tighter but damn I am still amazed when I see people doing these tiny power loops and tight maneuvers. I'm assuming at this point it's just a matter of practicing to get better. At first I had massive gains but now it's slowed a lot but the gains are still there.
Damn that control when demonstrating which trees and gaps to hit using the drone itself is godly skills i don't think i can do that anytime soon damn damn
wow that control when demonstrating which trees and gaps to hit using the drone itself is godly skills i don't think i can do that anytime soon wow wow
