Drone Racing Tips, #1 How to fly a "Jacobs Ladder"

[@JohnEFly]

Nice job man. Short, sweet, to the point and well covered. Keep it up!

[@tombstonefpv9053]

Hey man, I keep coming back and watching your racing tips videos, and they have really helped me. I'd love to see more of these if you get a chance to make a few more. Thanks.

[@z506fpv5]

Loved the video! Great idea for a series! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@rocket5710]

Alex, Thanks for the tips man! Keep em coming.

[@SlipperyFPV]

Just what I was waiting for! Thank you, I've got my first race coming up, need all the tips/help I can get! :) I look forward to more tips/tutorials. These will be very popular vids.

[@kumokraft]

Thanks for the insights, it is tricky, to get the orbit consistent when you're under pressure

[@nozty]

Would love to see something like this but an analysis on a track and how to maouver though it. ☺ Thanks capt for the amazing tutorial btw! 🔥

[@tsmspace]

Thats pretty good to show non-gates as gate practice. Well imagined, as the object still provides enough visual cue to work grading elevation. Of course I will be enjoying this practice technique as there are many objects with a clear top and bottom shape, although no gate at all is not the same,,, i dont have THOSE objects to avoid...

I challenge you to change your youtube name to captain flamethrower for a day.

[@thedreadedeye479]

Def keep doin these. I'm attempting to get into racing an I need tips like this

[@MattVentureNL]

Great video! I have been dissecting your earlier vid with Skinner and training pieces of it every time (started flying in January) - very helpful! Could you make an instruction that demystifies the split S (over & under)?

[@captainvanover]

for sure can do that!

[@dhbroad]

Would you take the same approach going up the ladder vs coming down?

[@MsKoffeinjunky]

Really impressive! Would you mind sharing your rates? I am trying to transition from freestyle to racing, and Im having a hard time finding proper rates for me. Would be great. Greetings Ben

[@captainvanover]

basically just 600 degrees a second on all axis and very linear with a tad bit of expo

[@MsKoffeinjunky]

Captainvanover Thanks alot! Keep Up the awesome flying!

[@1917VIL]

yes yes, that 600dps for that race/freestyle flow::) I'm wondering about your RC rates, however...

[@jordan1991r]

Awesome dude, would love more of these

[@ZylonFPV]

That was cool, there is a reason most people use extremely fluffy things on their mics though, for wind noise reduction 🙂 if you are going to be doing more vlogs that might be a good plan

[@nomaschalupas2453]

Are you at a drone racing farm? Breeding and raising.

[@smileyduck]

Great video, very useful for beginners!

[@Justinsmashh]

It's not the same without me :p

[@rocket5710]

Defs need your voice in the background there Skinner. Its just not the same lol.

[@feliciano1358]

What flight controller and esc set up is that? 20x20?

[@fpvmike6061]

Nice radio man!

[@mrbmw42]

You definitely need a deadcat for that mic. :)

[@JT-jy2sy]

JB has a page on race rate. Essentially racing needs very low rate give higher resolution. Is your rate around 300ish degree/sec for roll and pitch? Thanks in advance.

[@captainvanover]

about 600 degree/sec :)

[@JT-jy2sy]

Captainvanover obviously JB has been given the wrong advice lol

[@alexdalton7290]

Could you do a video on dive gates man those are pretty much hit or mis for me at this point lolz

[@captainvanover]

sure thing!

[@alexdalton7290]

Captainvanover thanks man

[@MultiShawnt]

That was really good. ThanX for share your skills,. 😎

[@RezaDastmalchian]

Is that a taranis ;)

[@1917VIL]

Curious what your roll, pitch & yaw RC Rates are...

[@captainvanover]

600 degrees/ sec

[@dronereviewman9580]

Great tips

[@ChristKrew-Rev1.8]

Outstanding..... now if I can just learn how to fly a quad..... lol.

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

Be good for newbees to have a stick overlay.

[@martindunstan7744]

Great vid and tip you need to keep these coming dude love them but it ain't the same without Justin skinner 😜👍👌👌👌

[@rambleron5720]

Zip tie some gates to that pole...

[@OutaTimeFPV]

Did you change from eyecups on your goggles to a faceplate?

[@captainvanover]

yes sir

[@RD-fb6ei]

I thought you were flying through high voltage for a moment lol

[@theCieszynka]

Captain Obvious :P

[@Andy_Holmes]

In other words, practice orbiting.
