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.

So nobody makes this mistake... Never launch from rocks or pebbles with a quad you are diagnosing, hover testing for any reason, or really ever. Had one with a busted motor winding. Didnt know at the time but I knew something was wrong. Set up to launch on small rocks, not thinking, gave a little throttle, it flipped over and sent a rock through my back windshield. Had I been a foot to the left, I'd be dead or a potato.

I'm a new pilot and I fly at my office all the time (30 acres of play land), so forgetting something is only a hike back into the building. But, when I forget my goggle antennas for the 10th time it is really frustrating to make that walk back into the building. I know, forgetting for 10 times isn't that terrible. But I've only been out flying 10 times. Every. Single. Time.

Thanks for the pointers Drew. The best one IMO is "crashing", I was too afraid to crash for months and my skills didn't improve much. But after almost a year and DOZENS of crashes later, I've learned that the drone can take WaAAyy more abuse than what I'd originally thought and once I got over my fear of crashing my skills started to improve immediately! I got into FPV because of your videos and since i'm such a fan boy my first drone had to be the Skyeliner, Its pretty dinged up but still structurally sound and still rips like new! also...since your my FPV hero, would you wanna give me a free drone and watch me fly it? :p

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.

Then drive all the way home depressed thinking your goggles died only to realize as soon as you walk in the door to your house that it was just that damn switch.

The tips are probably great by themselves. I just wish this could've been a blogpost that took about 30 seconds to read instead of 10 minutes of video. Oscarliang is a god-send, I think. When you google anything related to FPV, almost all the results are tedious videos. Some of them are good, granted, but I wish the people who has all this expertise could just post it as text instead. For example, for PID tuning, videos are better, because you can see and hear how the quad changes behavior. For other things though, text is superior. And, if you think you missed a step, you don't have to spool back and forth to try to find the exact second the presenter gave a certain detail.

It would be nice if you guys would put together an etiquette video. Some examples are NOT trying to be cool with friends and land at your feet while blasting 1w as well as plugging in your quad right next to someone else that is flying. Not plugging in without checking with folks that have already been flying to see what the best frequencies and power levels to be on. Track vs Fstyling at a park. 25mw on IMD6 for track possibly/4 taking turns at a park with higher (agreed upon) VTX power. If you're at a park that is frequented by dog walkers to make sure that folks not flying take on the role of Visual Observer so that pilots are aware of obstacles or if someone is on the field to retrieve a lost quad they call out that out loud enough for people to hear. I try to make sure when I fly with a crew that we have some kind of system in place. It's never a free for all. If no one is leading, i'll assume that role, but it would be nice if others knew a few things about organizing and took the initiative.

It's perfectly ok to use a slightly different motor on one arm. The FC adjusts. This means that if you want a full punch out, and the mismatched motor can't keep up with the others, then you'll be limited by that motor.

Can a custom drone teturn to home and hover as well as the Mavic mini and even it's cheaper alternatives can? You guys all seem to fly freestyle and race but I also want stills and hovering shots.

Without yelling, is it ok if I plug in? Let me know when you're in a good spot for me to. Nobody wants to get plugged in on while inverted over a tree lol! If you just yell plugging in it's not much different than saying imma about to fuck you up! 🤣

💥💥 #1 mistake in my opinion 💥💥 Learning to Throttle down, and disarm when crashing. It was my hands down worst problem for the first season. It just takes stick time to get into the habbit. The first time you watch your quad quiver to its death upside down in the grass through your fpv feed you tend to make that a priority.

I won't be hitting up rotor riot when I crash because of the shipping and premiums we pay for the name even though I would really like to.. I wish there was a UK🇬🇧 Rotor Riot shop.. I've just ordered this week: fortini f4, tmotor F60 v3 x4 motors, diatone GTR MK3 5" Frame, speedybee f4, flywoo leds x6, caddix camera, floss 5" frame 😊 p.s really enjoyed the retro footage of Scitzo and Drew 👍👏🎉
