FPV Stick Tutorial || Big Fail

I was asked to do a "stick tutorial" again, so i did. Unfortunately i was in the middle of the proces of finding out how to set my RCrate and Rate on the KISS fc. This then will show that this hobby often is about trial and error. It doesn't always go right the first time, but you keep trying. Next one will be better, i promise ;)
Cheers, Pieter
note: I know the tune is awful. One of the axis(probably yaw) has a way to high P-gain. I'm not a very good tuner, so it will take me some time to get it right.

If you're not crashing, you're not flying... excellent flying!

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks Dan

[@troy.adrian]

I love your editing, your camera setting and the way you fly

[@ADHD_RC]

Nice wid what module ate you using for your fat sharks thanks.👍

[@PanikosGR]

Well i have a question.. is this a thing that you stick on a drone or its the controller ? in 5:20 that tells you the battery voltage.

[@TaurusNL]

Neither. It's just a timer on the taranis. I've set mine to Throttle seconds and a duration of 2:30.

[@PanikosGR]

Thanks

[@itsdronetime]

Dude! When you asked the chickens(?) where the quadcopter was, I lost it!! Dying laughing! 😂😂 Great flying until that tree got in your way!🤘🏻

[@TaurusNL]

Haha yeah that's what i did. Thanks man, glad you liked it!

[@CNCmachiningisfun]

Awww, I bet I could fail waaaayyyy harder than that ;) . Great flying. Totally loved it.

[@Eduardohv]

Dude wtf that was magic! Awesome flying!

[@Depronkleber]

Nice, farm-like, recreational, multifunctional flying spot...(love the chicken hiding in the bushes) Nice flying and a good sense of humor...

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks. It's a real peas full place to be. The animals seem to care less and less.

[@jurikristjouw]

Are you also using the Capri Sonne straws as battery protection? They are perfect! Nive vid and nice flying!

[@lipcsey]

nice proximity there, is there a guide for setting up the 30-20-10 second countdowns for battery on the taranis? I've seen others but couldn't quite find it yet

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks. Yes there is: go to your model settings, go down to timer, set it to TRs, put in the amount of minutes/seconds and lastly a little further down select voice. Otherwise it doesn't talk to you. Cheers

[@lipcsey]

hmm, no TRs option for me, I'll search around, got the countdown bit set up anyways, cheers, keep up nice flying! ps.: what uptilt did you have on this vid do you remember? (Y)

[@nkyellowz]

you switch turn left/right from left stick to right stick? right stick turn left/right, left stick bend left/right?

[@furulevi]

THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO FLY !!!

[@peteflyfpv8697]

i have not set my pids yet..can i fly on stock or should i try at low number then move up as i fly..???

[@DroneMesh]

This video is what got me hooked to this hobby. Keep up the good work and you deserve more subs.

[@alanzeekk]

Hi nice video, is this in Rate mode or some sort of non-stabilized mode?

[@XxcuponkbrozxX]

Alan Z I'm sure this is Acro mode

[@luca-qt2ss]

hallo ik vlieg al een tijdje met mijn fpv drones maar dat waren geen racer drones dus welke racer drone is het best om te starten. Maar wat een top video's van jou

[@MrSkpin]

mad respect for the flying skills! I see you use headphones to monitor audio from the quad. Where do you source the audio on the quad from? FPV cam mic or gopro mic?

[@TaurusNL]

Gregor Velišček thanks man. I soldered a little mic to the vtx

[@Evolutionist199]

Massive Balls going under the trampoline!!! I am not quite ready to zip around this fast. I am 31 years old and finding myself getting dizzy AF after flying my FPV 250 Quad. How do you deal with the motion sickness feeling in your head and stomach!?! Epic flight! Thanks.

[@TaurusNL]

Thank you. Well, I'm 27 years old and barely keeping up at times, but it's a process. You get used to the speeds as time goes by. Besides that you'll gain control by practicing a lot, so movements are more predictable. Cheers and have fun!

[@lukecampbell3792]

nice flying! whats your P.I.Ds and rates??

[@IzakGt]

How are you gonna pick up any chics when you're crashing right there next to them? Nice flight

[@TaurusNL]

Hot chicks aren't allowed in this FPV garden of eden. Too much distraction. Thanks

[@ambermeows150]

Can you show me your settings for the timer countdown on your tarannis? :D

[@MrJoyholland]

Toffe video Ik vroeg me af hoe je de audio aansluit zodat deze hoorbaar is in de fatshark? Voor zover ik weet heeft een immersion vtx 1 ingang voor audio (dus geen onboard geluid?) een externe mic kopen maar deze heeft ook ground nodig?

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks. Ja elektronica heeft altijd een ground nodig. Positief van de externe mic gaat op de linker of rechter audio uit en ground gewoon op ground. Succes

[@jester3265]

Great flight, nice n smooth, flowing, shame about the mishap

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks.

[@rambozo_fpv176]

Looked great until that tree jumped out of nowhere.

[@CYCOJOE888]

the sheeps seems to be very unimpressed. cool

[@ziggyzbeak]

It was you great flying The sheep and chickens are good spotters lol

[@gracklefpv8811]

Hi! I see you reply to comments and you fly mini kwads, I had a question that dose not relate to the video, I am buying a AWESOME F200 and I want to bind it to my DX6e, what reciver will I need and where do I plug it in? If you can help that would be great Thanks :)

[@michaelallensteele]

Very interesting video and flight. If your firmware had blackbox, you would know what happened in the crash and you wouldn't have to film your hands. :) That's what keeping me from trying Kiss FC. A directional RC locator might help also if your battery disconnects. I'm surprised those sheep don't mind. What angles are your cameras at? I want to try flying under my trampoline now! Thank you.

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks Michael. My cameras are on 25-30 degrees uptilt

[@StasysFPV]

HI, You are incredible. I see that you hold taranis stick with two fingers, there are some reason?

[@lovesuryoyo]

Hey, ik heb een vraagje, zie je ook daadwekelijk ditzelfde beeld in je fpv bril? en zo niet, is dat überhaupt mogelijk?

[@imignap]

Yea forsure not the battery. is it not a stick mistake when you were yaw-ing upside down you throttled up before pitch-ing back?

[@tommorton66]

What GoPro settings do you use ???

[@lukagroot7409]

can you eat a whole sheep in one bite?

[@darkrinn7799]

you guy, asking the real questions

[@wito3017]

Great video as usuall. What recording camera do you use on quad? Is it Gopro Hero Session?

[@TaurusNL]

Yes, that's it. :)

[@MinkSoda]

That was some Sharp flying, Sir. I enjoyed it:) I have 2 questions: It is true the RC rate is related to the overall stick response where increasing the RC rate makes for an overall faster response on both sticks and decreasing it makes for a slower overall response? If so, then Betaflight default setting is 1.0 - What setting do you use? 2) What setting do you use for the RC expo rate?

[@jeepman012]

Nice Flying, and I like the way you inlaid the R C controller.

[@hanfpv3093]

woow nice Skills man! en ik zie dat je de epiquad hebt! met de complete pdb stack enzo.. hoeveel weeg je quad? (zonder lipo en gopro) ik heb er ook 1 maar dan alleen het frame.. mijn totale setup (zonder lipo en gopro) weegt 386gram.. 3ik vind dit nogal zwaar.. Dus vandaar mijn vraag! en ben je nog steeds tevreden met de tattuu 1550 75c? of ben je onderhand overgegaan op andere?

[@2crashy545]

How's your tune going Pieter? I'm interested in your rates as you fly sweet!

[@TaurusNL]

Hi there. I'm flying mr. Steele rates atm and they are fantastic! Tune still could be better, but I'm having great flights with it. The KISS rates are in my "close proximity" video description. Cheers

[@mikdahl]

Very nice flying - love the flying spot - more sheeps! (and cowbell)

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks!

[@LastOneInLineForName]

Fast and smooth :-) What cam are you using? Looks nice and compact, and the images are very decent.

[@mgr33n23]

Bonjour, impressionnante ta vidéo!! Je débute dans l'univers fpv 4h sur "liftoff" tu as commencé quand le fpv?

[@TaurusNL]

+Lo Lo sorry, I can't read that. I don't speak French. Something with you starting with the simulator Liftoff?

[@XxcuponkbrozxX]

What drone are you using in this video? I'm into racing drone but wanting to get a more stunty set up

[@TaurusNL]

This is an EpiQuad210. See the the descriptionfor all the parts i used

[@XxcuponkbrozxX]

Pieter Bos thank you so much! Sorry I didn't look there before. Great flying btw, cheers!

[@DeSmetGerry]

why you don't have in the video the gear in the description ? I see motors emax rs2205

[@TaurusNL]

+Gerry DE SMET because, as I explained to many others, I like to keep it updated. When I don't fly those motors anymore for whatever reason I update my gear description.

[@DeSmetGerry]

the gear of your video is amazing ! I would like to know wich kind of parts do you used (esc, pdb, fc, ..) :)

[@TaurusNL]

Gerry DE SMET and that's why I put it all in the description. Just follow the links and your good. Cheers!

[@45llamas]

how you get forward if you dont put the joystick forward ?

[@TaurusNL]

+45llamas its physics. When the quad is angled forward, the thrust is vectored backwards. You don't need to pitch it forward further than necessary.

[@45llamas]

i know that. im saying that looks like you dont move the pitch in the remote control

[@SonAndDadFPV]

Nice one Pieter, the sheep don't seem to care... lol, they still have a lot of grass to eat ;-)

[@Thomas-fk6ep]

This looks like so much fun. How much does a setup like that cost?

[@TaurusNL]

Thomas Luna it is much fun. The quad, without GoPro and lipo's is approximately €440

[@Dontbeweakvato]

that's badass flying. I'm gonna buy a vortex 250 here shortly. I've never fpv'd but I've flown other smaller quads. I bought a dx6 the newest version so next is my vortex 250. what else do you recommend I get?

[@TaurusNL]

Great way to start buying a vortex pro. You obviously need some goggles and a transmitter too. I would go for the fatshark dominator v2 and the frsky taranis plus. Good luck!

[@AdaptFPV]

+Pieter Bos (TaurusFPV) "I bought a new dx6". Why should he get a taranis?

[@TaurusNL]

Christian Logsdon I might have missed that. Sorry

[@AdaptFPV]

Pieter Bos And why do you recommend the V2's over the V3's? I guess that actually makes sense since the only major difference is the face plate and fan. And there $100 cheaper now.

[@TaurusNL]

Christian Logsdon that's not the only reason. V3's have a 16:9 ratio compared to the V2's 4:3. As almost all FPV cameras are 4:3 so I'd choose the dominator V2 every time.

[@m-alevesquefpv8971]

Man..those are the chillest cows I ever seen!!.... not a single shit is giving... awsome flying tho..very impressive!

[@TaurusNL]

FYI those are sheep :P thanks bro!

[@alexarrigone]

look how chilled the sheep are! :) nice flying :)

[@alexdalton7290]

Subscribed I was flying today and my xt60 plug came undone mid back flip damn walk of shame lol

[@TaurusNL]

Whoops! Hope the damage wasn't too bad. Cheers

[@alexdalton7290]

Pieter Bos nope landed in ideal spot too I was pretty happy about that

[@ISLAMguidanceful]

Question, is your forward flip faster than your backward flip? also same goes for the rolls, are your right rolls faster than left? or is there something wrong with my radio lol

[@TaurusNL]

No, both sides are equally fast on all axis. If not, than you haven't set your endpoints right.

[@ISLAMguidanceful]

iam slowly starting to understanding why no one uses spektrum radios -_-.. or maybe iam doing the trims wrong, but iam fairly certain the endpoints are calibrated correctly

[@2crashy545]

Hi Peter, Great video! I have a very similar set up to you. Would you mind sharing your PIDS out o interest?

[@TaurusNL]

I wouldn't mind, but at the moment I'm not satisfied with the tune.

[@2crashy545]

no probs buddy you did say that in your video. regards

[@MT-mt1gn]

What earbud are you using? Looks nice and short

[@TaurusNL]

A random cheap one i cut down to length and soldered together again.

[@sadigov]

Flying like a Bos! How long does it take to learn FPV? I can LOS, kind of.

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks! You're question is hard to answer as it's very dependant on a persons level of talent and the amount of time you put in. I'm not too talented, but flying a lot and keeping persistence helped me a lot. Cheers

[@manuelsmeets9392]

He Pieter. Even een vraagje. kun je misschien eens een uitleg doen over hoe de taranis werkt en hoe je firmware installeert en aangepaste geluiden. Ik heb gekeken maar er zijn weinig filmpjes op youtube over hoe de taranis precies werkt en hoe je bijv Telemetrie en batterij alarm enzo instelt op de beroemde zender.

[@TaurusNL]

Ik zou het je kunnen uitleggen, maar daar is mijn kanaal niet voor bedoelt. Ik adviseer je toch beter te zoeken op YT, want er zijn juist super veel video's over te vinden. Zoek Joshua Bardwell of Painless360 maar eens op. Cheers

[@manuelsmeets9392]

Oke Thanks

[@dronetimemierlo-hout8440]

Mooi gedaan ! waar kom je vandaan ?

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks. Ik kom uit Groningen, maar woon door de weeks in Apeldoorn.

[@tommorton66]

What are your GoPro settings

[@TaurusNL]

+Tom Morton 1080s 60fps protune

[@JeffriRanger]

so happy if I had a backyard like yours

[@marcostaiano1322]

Finally an instructive tutorial. That mode is sey to the radio? Thx

[@TaurusNL]

+Marco Staiano glad to help. What about the mode the radio is set to? I'm not quite sure I understand. You mean mode 2?

[@marcostaiano1322]

Hi and THX for response! Yes i mean if you flight with mode 2 or 4

[@TaurusNL]

Marco Staiano mode 2. (:

[@marcostaiano1322]

+Pieter Bos (TaurusFPV) THX man!!!

[@Floaser-hr1hd]

Whats the difference between the modes?

[@felixgrubbe2623]

You linked the wrong motors in your description :) Thoose are the Emax RS2205 right?

[@TaurusNL]

Zer0_Exeption correct, because it's outdated. They're still great motors, but I prefer to recommend the motors I fly right now. Well spotted though! Cheers

[@felixgrubbe2623]

So the newer ones have more power? I'm running the RS2205 and love them so far, but there won't be any moment I'm not looking for something more powerful ^^

[@MrOdyssey]

is that a 180 or a 250 and what brand and model?

[@TaurusNL]

As stated in the description below the video: it's an EpiQuad 210

[@lucaprof943]

what's the tilt on your camera?

[@TaurusNL]

Approximately 25-30 degrees

[@themidwestfishkeeper8117]

What camera are you using for recording the footage?

[@TaurusNL]

I'm using the GoPro Hero 4 Session

[@themidwestfishkeeper8117]

On the quad itself?

[@TaurusNL]

+H.O.F Hobby Channel yes, on the quad itself

[@mgr33n23]

Hello i said: You re really impressive !!😎👍 i start in FPV . I have just 4hours on the "liftoff " simulator. You started when the fpv ? Ty 4 vidéo 😜

[@TaurusNL]

Haha okay! Now that i can understand. ;) Welcome to the FPV family! I've been flying for two years now. Cheers!

[@mgr33n23]

Haahaa ok thank You 👍😜

[@InconspicuousFoxMan]

what kind of laptop is that? looks like an acer, but I've never seen one like that.

[@TaurusNL]

It's an Acer Aspire R7 goo.gl/images/2Yp9gN

[@TheJohncoffee1234]

Dude...that was awesome! In which mode you are flying? Acro?

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks. Haha yeah obviously. Try to pull this off in level of horizon mode lol. 👍🏻

[@TheDemon190]

Nice flying did you find out what caused it

[@TaurusNL]

Roger Young yes, it was caused by a combination of a bad tune, new rates and pilot error. (:

[@mujihuz8433]

how long will it take for a beginner to get to this stage?

[@TaurusNL]

Depends on talent and gear. I flew for about 14 months when I made this video.

[@ruftime]

Nice flying. If you don't ever crash your not trying hard enough in my book! Subd!

[@TaurusNL]

+Canyon Racer Thanks! Although I prefer to keep my gear in one piece. ;) When you crash you'll always learn something, but as time goes on you start to crash a lot less. Doesn't mean I'm not trying though! Cheers

[@imignap]

You ran out of battery. Ever bounce on the trampoline with the quad?

[@TaurusNL]

Nathan Imig no I didn't drain the battery. It still had 15.2v left after the crash. And yes I regularly jump the trampoline with my quad. Cheers!

[@erupt6900]

what's that laptop?

[@TaurusNL]

Acer Aspire R7

[@frankiej6329]

Why you switch to pinch

[@TaurusNL]

+frankie jessica because I like it more

[@lorenzodaidone6293]

where you from in the netherlands

[@TaurusNL]

Lorenzo Daidone I'm from Groningen, but I live in Apeldoorn

[@peteflyfpv8697]

great video..good flying..we all crash no biggy..that usally happens to me when everything is going so well and exiting and then booom..i know it sucks..

[@bennieproxy9010]

Fantastic skills, Pieter!

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks Bennie!

[@ufochannel01]

something that went wrong is called pilot error. lol it happens to us all. but if you would have landed when the timer counted down it wouldn't have happened. id say though you have a great little racing quad setup. keep practicing. tommy the cat

[@TaurusNL]

Don't get me wrong, it was pilot error, but it had nothing to do with my lipo. My timer was set for a 1300mAh in race conditions. This was a 1550mAh and I wasn't pushing hard.

[@akshayn3926]

awesome flying...

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks man

[@letrevz2584]

HI MATE PLEASE SHARE YOUR PID TUNING..THANKS..NICE FLYING!

[@nasarami]

Outstanding flying,, I wish I could fail like that lol. beautiful spot by the way.

[@TaurusNL]

Thank you! Just keep practicing and perfecting your skill and style. (:

[@destofpv1497]

ohhhh man you are good! Those chickens have no right to laugh at you!

[@CoreyFPV]

DOH!!?, no way a fail dude. Good stickage had there.

[@gravy6009]

building my first drone but have 0 idea how to calibrate or tune.

[@TaurusNL]

Luckily there are dozens of tutorial videos on that on KZbin. (: forums are helpful as well. Good luck!

[@markbutler9046]

I have it a thumbs up for the crash alone!

[@PARADR0NEtv]

Thanx for the flight mate.. Really enjoyed..

[@TaurusNL]

+PARADR0NE tv glad to hear, thanks!

[@saimanikantabadiga]

Hi I just started to learn fpv drone race Can u take a video on pid tuning of acro mode plz 😇😇😇👌

[@frostlife]

Does your Taranis read your voltage level? Is it accurate?

[@TaurusNL]

I haven't set up telemetry. Working with a timer only.

[@frostlife]

Pieter Bos Ah okay, thanks! Nice flying btw!

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks!

[@jussa101]

I have telemetry and even the smartport telemetry is real good it doesn't give you an individual cell but still real good.

[@HalberUngar]

absolut nice style and carma. genial. Sehr schönes Video und beneidenswert geflogen. Thanks *

[@nemdrc5386]

Great video, love the roof slam😂 !!! Hope it only trashed props 👏🏼

[@TaurusNL]

Thanks and yes, that was the only damage fortunately. BOOOOOOMMMM

[@BorisBnow]

Ouch!! I hope the roof was fine :D.

[@TaurusNL]

It's got a really big dent in it ;)

[@AGEN7HIT]

lol!! the chicken actually answered No

[@lukagroot7409]

Pieter wil je mijn froind zijn?

[@tylerembree3636]

That's what always happens when you say "I've got one more minute on my battery" lol

[@chadbaugh6431]

Great show

[@--JohnDoe]

Man I crashed my vortex 285 like that, straight down into concrete two motors broke straight off found em about 20 ft away from the bounce. And the mobius broke two zip ties and went 15 ft the other way. replaced two motors and I'm back up.

[@TaurusNL]

Okay

[@am030001]

Wow, very nice flying, you're a good pilot. -

[@scottmccurley2743]
