How-to Fly FPV Quadcopters / Drone - "FLYING FORWARD AND SLOWING DOWN"

[@richardwallinger1683]

76 years old and just making the giant leap into fpv from RC model helicopters . Easy line of sight. but wow , FPV is doing my head in .Simulators are a version of LOS.. and looking at the screen is not like looking through the goggles . the Sim should be played through the goggles to give a more realistic feel to the practicing . good work really helpful video . Be brave .

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Really good drill hovering over the noodles. Great video.

[@FPVAcademy]

+Joshua Bardwell Thanks man, big fan of your videos too! Hope to see you around :) Cheers mate

[@asdfasdf5427]

FPV Academy how do you display the throttle sticks and your quad in real time. what software is it and is it a special osd that outputs to ur go pro or something or do you construct it when editing with your black box on your board ?

[@plane1233]

Im loving this series! Had some problems getting liftoff working with my transmitter at first, but now i cant get off it. Keep up the good work!

[@FPVAcademy]

+plane1233 Awesome, glad you could get it to work and really hope these videos help you :) Cheers mate

[@Marceloacampos]

Am I the only one having problems with maps 2, 3 and 4 ? Congrats Jack. Videos are really helpful. Thank you for the hard work

[@FPVAcademy]

Hmm I'll look more into that. I'll be remaking these videos in the next 2 months or so and have the tracks easily available in the Liftoff Steam Workshop. Cheers

[@telestroud]

Fantastic Videos...Well done! Appreciate the time and effort you put into this series.

[@FPVAcademy]

Thanks man, appreciate you taking the time to comment ;)

[@Crownleyian]

Thanks mate really appreciated, another 100hours of Liftoff to go before my Hawk takes off.

[@TT_R89]

Thanks for doing these, I appreciate your effort and dedication. Thanks for the tracks too! I'm not new to drones or RC, but I'm new to rate mode and this really makes it more interesting.

[@FPVAcademy]

Great stuff man, glad I could help you out!

[@sarky1]

Great Tips Jaco! Valuable skill to develop early on. I can't count the amount of people that "Land" by just flying it right in :)

[@FPVAcademy]

+sarky1 Hahaha 100%. Super important skill which so many people don't have. I've seen some guys here that fly pretty well but still bring it in hot...

[@bertil281]

Keep it up my good sir. i wished when i started flying racing drones i had guy like you on youtube, so keep it up with the HQ vids :)

[@FPVAcademy]

+Bertil Egholm Brøns Thanks man I really appreciate the comment! Hopefully when I get to the more advanced stuff I'll be able to help you a bit :) Cheers

[@bertil281]

+Jack FPV you allready helped me alot with some good drills that i could practice. You are also one of the first people on youtube to make these HIGH QUALITY tutorials with great commentary and good way of showing it so everybody can understand it. :D

[@FPVAcademy]

+Bertil Egholm Brøns Thanks man and that's great to hear! Glad that these videos are helping you guys :) Will be bringing out tons more so please tell your mates about it too!

[@mrsaraf3459]

Good tutorials brother, I'm following these and also advised my friends to do the same. Keep it up!

[@LegendGamerRiderx]

Yo man keep on enjoying what you're doing rite now

[@FPVAcademy]

+Im Legend Thanks man appreciate the comment :)

[@ACaquatics21]

Are the videos available for download yet? I do not see the link in the description like mentioned in the video.

[@prayashshakya9770]

Can you tell how to calibrate mode 1 in liftoff??? please thanks in advance

[@rogerdevries4401]

Thank you for putting together this series. Did you know your link on how to install the download is a dead end link? It would be great to practice on Liftoff. Is there a tutorial on how to load this stuff onto liftoff?

[@FPVAcademy]

Hey Roger, these maps will be updated really soon! Thanks

[@neanderthalgaming914]

Loving these videos. I can't get my AT-9 to work with my PC though so struggling to practice with Lift-off ans an Xbox controller doesn't really replicate a proper remote.

[@brett2077]

For the Liftoff simulator, can I use my Dx6e transmitter? If so, what else would I need to be able to use it? Thanks!

[@leokearney2117]

I've been a fan for a while and was wondering where to buy one of the drones and do you need a lisence

[@GoochiFPV]

+leo kearney You can but them from almost anywhere! Try looking on some local forums or on Facebook! Shouldn't need a licence, you don't in Europe/USA. In the USA you need to be registered as a pilot thou.

[@FPVAcademy]

+leo kearney Basically what Goochi said :)

[@leokearney2117]

+Jack FPV. thanks to both of you keep making great videos

[@jtmagx]

Amazing how not one of your videos do u mention control stick variation

[@-_jah-_I]

Hi FPV academy really want to get into this great hobby but I don't know what to buy do you any advice?

[@solderking4051]

So does liftoff fpv simulator use the keyboard and mouse or an actual drone remote?

[@BDmania888]

What is your quadcopter PID setting

[@j4yvfx606]

Hello Jack. I just got my racing drone and when I was flying it it was automatically stabilising, I wanted to know how to turn off the stabiliser so I can do flips. Thanks!

[@solderking4051]

I bail is you have to reprogram the ESC's

[@MattyConn]

Hello, I've got my camera angle set to around 40 degrees but i feel like I still need to pitch forward more than that to get the quad to gather speed, which in turn means I'm starring at the ground half of the time whilst flying. Any suggestions or tips to help?

[@marinenukem]

Is it bad that I find the faster braking method easier than the slower braking one?

[@stephenkosloff6081]

hoesit Jack - great stuff - can i use my taranis X9D - ? it has no offsets and i cant get my throttle setup like yours - I still only have the plane and heli on the X9D - can I get quadcopter somewhere ? thanks - lekker

[@jordanmcsween5216]

Love the intro

[@Davidwilburjr1]

I have a Diatone crusader gt2 I got for pretty much nothing 95 bucks just had to reflash it and now I got it up in the air and thing is very touchy nothing like the drone I lost this one scares me lol I wanna try this fpv but not ready yet I continue to fly my Tello with vr mode. Any ideas need something like the body of the tello but motors like the Hot shot I call it (Diatone crusader gt2)

[@asdfasdf5427]

how do you display the quad and your throttle sticks in real time?

[@Cias13]

Hey man, great videos. i'm certainly a newbie, so would you mind telling me what program you used to record your stick movements like that? Thanks.

[@diy4dummies178]

+Cias13 I'm pretty sure its built into the firmware on his flight controller: "clean flight". It records entire flight logs onto the micro sd which you can put in the board. That is also how he gets the throttle levels of each individual motor on the screen like that aswell

[@FPVAcademy]

+Cias13 Hey man, +DIY4Dummies is spot on. I use a Blackbox Data Recorder.

[@diy4dummies178]

+Jack FPV Hey, Im having a lot of problems getting my taranis to work with my mac, should you plug it in via the port at the back for master/slave and setup the config as slave so it can send everything to the computers headphone port. So far I have only tried doing it via the microusb and that has failed dismally. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

[@FPVAcademy]

+ DIY4Dummies Hey man, sorry but I don't run it from a MAC. Maybe check the support forums on Steam for Liftoff?

[@Cias13]

thanks for the replies guys!

[@Mr.Transcended-Quest]

Nice video. Just FYI: Your Liftoff link only shows the Day one how to hover track. Did you mean to share the Flying forward and slowing down track?

[@FPVAcademy]

+Kane Martin Ahhh! Thanks for the heads up! I slipped up a bit :) Should be up now. Cheers mate

[@Mr.Transcended-Quest]

+Jack FPV No worries and thanks for the file!. Would you be willing to post your KZbin setup? What software/hardware do you use for your filming an editing?

[@andrealongobardi2084]

Great video series!!!! Are the tracks available for download into LiftOff?

[@FPVAcademy]

Thanks. These videos are actually going to be remade with better instructions. The track in this specific video is not available, but the new tracks will be when I release the new, updated videos :)

[@WooD1k]

Is there any ETA for new videos\tracks? Thanks in advance!

[@gillesbernard8329]

Which camera angle do you use? :) the fpv cam!

[@FPVAcademy]

About 30 degrees :)

[@jackalopalen]

correction: camera angle is directly proportional to quad speed WHEN KEEPING HORIZON CENTERED. I could point my camera straight down, but if I'm looking at the ground, I'm staying put. (subtle correction, I know, but it grated against my ears whenever you said they are directly proportional, period)

[@FPVAcademy]

Hahaa, only seeing this now. Totally correct. Sorry about that ;)

[@mmt.adventure3830]

please I want to know if I can download FPV simulator dron from wibe and then name of web said plz

[@frostlife]

Thank you for these videos! What song did you use for the intro, it's so cool! :D

[@dylan9935]

How do you download the app?

[@frillneckedlizard8529]

we don't have open space in the netherlands

[@ARMY_RUGS]
