how to mix roll and yaw to turn and roll

Wanted to take some time to talk about how roll and yaw mix together to affect turning and rolling your drone. This is a fairly basic concept but I wanted to get into the details of it so that we have a foundation for some of the tricks I want to do tutorials on in the future.

[@warehousefpv]

That dive into and through the trees toward the end was pretty awesome!

[@LeDribFPV]

😈

[@WingFPV]

Some times you just have to hit that gap no matter how nasty it looks. #cruisingflow

[@johnc5188]

More of this. Stick cam plus narration of what you are doing. Super helpful for those of us that are still figuring this out. Loved the last Rotor vid. Seeing your flying style back to back with the Rotor crew was sweet. Your style really stands out.

[@axtonkarson2634]

i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

[@magnusoliver6086]

@Axton Karson instablaster :)

[@axtonkarson2634]

@Magnus Oliver Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@axtonkarson2634]

@Magnus Oliver It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@magnusoliver6086]

@Axton Karson Glad I could help =)

[@nathanwiw9731]

Hey Le Drib, Yesterday was the second time i ve ever flown a acro quad it's pretty amazing. I've been flying DJI Spark type drone for about 3 years which is enjoyable, but nothing like flying my new acro quads. You are the one whom got me interested in this hobby (THANK YOU BROTHER) and i appreciate the awesome content which helps me be a better pilot. Thanks bro!

[@neutronfpv]

yo that reverse punch from out of the breezeway was dope!

[@hth3757]

neutron_fpv yes, impressive!

[@LeDribFPV]

thanks guys :)

[@Johananasen]

LeDrib is always killing it with his reverse stuff :D

[@rscottyg1]

Every time you explain something I immediately get it. You're a great teacher. Thanks for the videos!

[@MrSmith336]

Drew-what you did from 11:54 to about 12:04, pretty freaking awesome. It was a very nice move, smooth, elegant. This is an exceptional video.

[@LeDribFPV]

:) thank you

[@UFDACREW]

I had alot of stick time this weekend, and it almost felt like i was stuck on a certain flying style. I simple couldnt think of anything to try to change things up. Im so glad you posted this, so now i can rest and think about how im going to hit the sticks tomorrow.

[@LeDribFPV]

I know what you mean, sometimes it's easy to get stuck in the same rhythm. That makes me so happy if I've been able to help get you trying new flows :)

[@muchthump]

Thanks for breaking it down so well! This might be one of my fav freestyle info filled vlog I've watched so far!

[@tygasdeath6914]

Skitzo+MattyStuntz=LeDrib unlike racing its kinda hard to judge freestyle but my opinion your at the top of your game. we all know who most consider "the best" but imo your style is more aesthetic & visually pleasant. hats off sir

[@jacobshepherd3997]

Tygas Death i honestly like his better than Mr steele. More flow

[@deltamediatv8801]

I love the way you crash the drone and just simply continue the tutorial. Thanks for the demonstration, I hope your drone is back in the air.

[@shaunweir6080]

Drew, just starting out but took this advice to the simulator and you have helped me step up my game immensely. Hope you are enjoying Europe!

[@bobturner3388]

Nice move inside the foyer of the building! Enjoy your content and have for a year or more now! Thank you for all your videos!

[@jbreslow1]

As a lot of these comments have said, you have great style in how you fly, a smoothness about it. If you don't already have a video out on how to fly smoother, maybe something to think about.

[@bikrams1250]

Finally a great descriptive video about roll and yaw for newbies like me. Great job!

[@robinmoore3649]

I've subscribed today. I saw a Rotor Riot video were the guys were giving you stick for crashing a lot, but I can see you're pushing to see what will happen. Checking gaps at 60mph! You've helped me understand a few things, and I think you're better at explaining things to new people like me than you realise.

[@supergreg72]

Man, you know how to entertain fellow pilots! Beau travail!

[@galimirnund6543]

I appreciate you guys that actually show how you are moving the joysticks to do those tricks. Some people don't and it is NOT helpful at all. Is that Dave's Smokin' BBQ? I love that place... they give you a shit ton of food!!

[@manyshripps]

What a crazy holeshot at 13:15!!! Thought you were gonna come out on the right, and then you just keep it goin! Very cool! 👏

[@grapefru]

even though i feel like i learned all this, a little bit of a reminder always helps. i've been drifting through turns quite frequently recently and need to practice this a lot more.

[@rep1vfpv951]

Good video Drew! I like that you explain the advanced basics of flying quads. Keep it up with the video's.

[@G4DRONE]

Dude ... What madness that sequence of entry and exit in the building after 11:57

[@BMathiesen]

Damn drib your flying has changed so much since this video! Good stuff man love these videos

[@StenniZ77]

Thanks for sharing. Your perspective and explanation really helped me out. :) ...and that part around 14:57 rocking forwards and backwards under that building was AWESOME imo. I replayed that several times.

[@ol-man-duffyj688]

Awesome Drew! You said this was coming out. Thanks for sharing the cross coordination as I had not thought about that one performing tricks. And that backwards flying out of the atrium was just sick! 👍🏼

[@dfiegel421]

Found you video and very helpful. 30 degrees, yeah that’s the ticket....explains a lot. Thanks. Don

[@kenjifpv6511]

How you didn't hit those trees at 13:16 I'll never know! Thanks for this video! The comment about thinking about your momentum really helped!

[@LeDribFPV]

may have been a little luck involved lol

[@MrSabram07]

This is exactly what I'm looking for how to perform tricks More of this please

[@KittFPV]

"That's just the character of your style"...

[@MuLoO123]

YOU daredevil, the reverse trew the building...the gap between building and tree....GODLIKE !

[@lores9461]

Always enjoy these type of vids. I've an inckling that using this kind of mixing results in a kind of "tick tacking" movement of the quad from side to side. Johnny fpv uses it alot inbetween tricks, and consequently to set up a trick. Been trying to get it down for a couple of weeks now to no avail. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work on your channel, its a valuable resource to many of us.

[@jvalken178]

you take the term "flying through trees"to another level my friend!

[@scotthiser6733]

Loved that barrel roll into the courtyard and the "matty backout" you did lol

[@chetmyers7041]

You are a good instructor. Love the "stick cam."

[@rl2769]

Drib maybe my number one source of info when it comes to this hobby. Thank you sir!!

[@priner7983]

Wish you would do more videos Like this man. Love your flying style. Super smooth man

[@jeffvenable3845]

i love your sense of humor about the whole thing. i learn and laugh

[@txfieros]

The only one I didn't see you talk about was using both roll and yaw in the same direction to do what looks like a strange roll thats really more like a fast flat spin while going in fast forward flight. Great video.

[@LeDribFPV]

yup I want to do a separate video dedicated to that :)

[@jimdouglas3038]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm really new to this. Still need to get a quad kinda new. But I've been trying to fly on the DRL sim. Wasn't having a lot of success. But for some reason the way you explain everything made it click. I was actually able to be able to do what I wanted and not just moving the sticks to see what would happen.

[@LeDribFPV]

Thanks so much for sharing that, makes my day to think I might have been able to help someone :)

[@LetsFlyRC]

Your trick tutorials are the best, bud. Thx for posting.

[@Ballistik1]

LMAO Drew! Evan just informed me what that thump was at the end of the video. And again another great tutorial!

[@purduedroneclub512]

Awesome video Drew! Stick cam is always great to watch!

[@LeDribFPV]

Thanks buddy! I'm excited to start getting the IN episodes out ;)

[@JeffWok]

I am trying to graduate from Horizon to Acro and this makes total sense to me. I can fly Acro LOS but the angle was killing me in FPV. GREAT post!

[@LeDribFPV]

that makes me so happy to hear, thanks! Just wait till you get acro FPV down. So. Much. Fun.

[@gramps69cd]

Great tutorial ...Now I need to practice the lesson ...Thanks Drew !!

[@mistery79]

Good stuff dude! Your flying has gotten a lot better.

[@MrBKScorpio]

Nicely explained Dribby! i'm always pumped to go fly after i watch these vids....it's 4:17am here in Ireland though. SIM TIME!

[@LeDribFPV]

Hope you got some nice sim time in and more importantly get out and fly today! :)

[@MrBKScorpio]

yeah was a fun rip with some random nice tunes, i've been working on that trippy spin (Inverse orbit) its so unforgiving lol

[@LeDribFPV]

yeah that one is a total pain lol. The concepts in this vid should help a bit because its a less extreme form of sticks out or sticks in

[@MrBKScorpio]

yeah, i made some progress last night after this vid...its starting to sink in and feel more natural.....gotta be so subtle on the sticks :P

[@rieskame]

I've been struggling using dji fpv sim just trying to make banked turns without losing control. Good video.

[@Akaizer100]

Another great Video, Thanks for the tips, I really enjoy your style, getting some of that backwards flight in there : )

[@cee5794]

Yay for this vid! Ripping now in gta5 lol! While tweaking for comfy rates I got a bit confuzzled with the roll thing and now all is nailed and ripping like total looney in there :p best fpv freestyle sim ever!

[@BenjaminFrinkRIH]

Lol gta 5 has a sim in it?

[@whoopwhoopification]

reverse punch.. I believe that's whats it could.. that would make an awesome tutorial vid. Learned the 'Matty Flip' from your channel. Keep up the good work. Always thumbs up your vids!

[@KAMELION2]

Great videos man! I think the way you explain things will really help! Thanks a Million Bud!

[@bobturner3388]

Your video editing is phenomenal

[@jeffgould5367]

Thanks Drew that was useful and fun..nice job on the tree recovery.

[@maureraerialproductions7739]

Great demonstration and very simple to understand! Thanks a lot!!! Cheers:-)

[@vertigo5828]

Dang it Drew, I was just eyeing that second spot the other day! Killer video as always man!

[@LeDribFPV]

😈 lol

[@bullproductions]

didn't think I would learn anything, then I did. Nice one.

[@smittyfsu62]

Love the tutorial and explanation of process. Please make more videos like this!

[@LeDribFPV]

:)

[@Sully365]

best howto vid i've seen in a long time. Thanks

[@LeDribFPV]

:) thanks for watching

[@theibault]

Good stuff Drew. You had a Forrest Gump moment @3:18 lol. The "feel" you were talking about is muscle memory but you explained it so well. Loving these videos. My flying is getting better every week, but it's always great to stop and think about what you are doing even if it's become muscle memory. Would you please do a video on smooth tic tacs (tick tocks based on where you may be from)? That's the one trick that I just can't get right for some reason and apparently it's one of the easiest things to do?!? Keep up the great work. Oh, and the danger level on that dive into the little copse of trees against the building was super high!

[@LeDribFPV]

:D thanks Omar Not sure what you mean by tock tock/tac? Usually that refers to a collective pitch heli move?

[@theibault]

Le Drib Just meant the side to side roll move people do when just travelling straight, keeping a movement or flow between tricks.

[@DroneyMontana]

I've been thinking about this bc I need to improve my rolls and split S's. Of course, I had to turn to my fave pilot for a tutorial. 🤣 Nice vid as usual! 👍

[@frankz1914]

The last flight was epic, a lot of flow!!

[@jacobebrock]

Best advice I've heard.

[@atomicfpv4510]

This is what got me into the hobby r years ago when you used to shread Detroit forever

[@KlazerFPV]

Had a lot of fun watching this one while uploading and exporting my latest ones :) Thanks for the tips, I've been working on yaw spins lately and mixing more yaw into tricks - loving your content. peace and #propsup

[@tiagotiagot]

I couldn't wrap my head around coordinating yaw and roll until I stopped trying to think about what the sticks or the quad was doing and just flew many hours on Liftoff with various camera angles just messing around and letting the quad and obstacles guide what I'm supposed to do. I still can't talk much about the theory, but most of the time I'm getting the quad to go where I want it to.

[@JordanPowers636]

Liking these trick vids keep em coming

[@DavidOwensuk]

Great video! Really enjoyed tutorial and the flying was great too...

[@wellingtonnurse3784]

Nice video I hope when I get my quad I could learn to fly like you 😀

[@geoffpedder]

great flying, so smooth

[@jackjohnston3315]

Great explanation. The BMSweb guys did a video on this a while ago, Thomas called it Inverse Yaw.

[@Sketchy_FPV]

Love ur channel brov, make sure that u keep at it! Respect

[@LeDribFPV]

thanks!

[@12315240]

more video like this plz !! appreciate it

Lmao. You and Steele need to make a video together. Yall would be a trip!

[@imager09tube]

Thank you very much! Great effort!

[@hantu66]

good info…. i’ve been searching for this for a while….

[@counter929]

13:20 i nearly had to change my shorts when you dropped through the trees and building.

[@drafpv]

thanks for video, im a newbie this is very helpful for me

[@fpvflyriding]

Good info, great colors at the end spot!

[@ordnaloc]

that backwards flight..... awesome.

[@danlangston4074]

Whaaaat!!!???? @14:58 that was crazy, loved it!

[@AstroFPV]

Hey man awesome flying! I've been meaning to do an experiment with fpv angle mixing...so I guess I'm in the same boat as you where I like to control my yaw and roll mix manually, it's how im used to doing it and feels natural.. BUT if I want to change my camera angle, it throws the ratios off between yaw and roll and takes quite a while for me to get used to it. So I want to try using fpv angle mix to adjust for when I make changes in my camera angle.. say im used to flying at 30deg and i want to change to 50, just add 20 deg fpv angle mix.. BUT then I got thinking more about how much I'm moving each stick.. so to do a completely flat spin at 45deg with yaw and roll rates the same, you would move both sticks exactly the same left or right.. SO my plan is to set all my rates the same for pitch, roll, and yaw (i usually have yaw slightly lower) and then use fpv angle mix to adjust up or down from 45. eg if i want to fly with 30deg I would set fpv angle mix to -15, if I want to fly with 50 deg I set fpv angle mix to 5. Wow this turned into quite the essay, would be interested to hear your thoughts on this though, do you ever change your camera angle and does this cause issues for you getting the ratios right?

[@LeDribFPV]

Lot of good thought into that. I follow what your saying. Would be really interested to hear how you like it, please let me know if you do it how it goes. Changing cam used to bother me, but eventually I got used to being able to compensate. I don't move my camera that much anyway it's almost always at 30 deg. But sometimes if I know I'm going to be doing extra backwards stuff I might not get up to 40, or if I'm flying a tight area maybe drop it down to 20 or 25

[@peterzingler6221]

feeling yes feeling is everything i always fly angle mod before but on day i fly acro mode and i didnt noticed that i am doing it:D dont think much feel the air ;)

[@hth3757]

I dont know how you get your way through some of that skraggle like down the building face under the trees. Damn! But then again, you met the tree at the end. How many trees did you actually clip lol? killer flying Drew!

[@415bryant]

Damn, love watching you fly. I'm working on it man just don't have that much time with work and kids:) I'd like to see what your PIDS look like on that quad. I have some I have been using with the same style frame and like them but always looking for something different.

[@LeDribFPV]

might do a PID video soon. I'm still learning to improve tuning and such so I've held off discussing it so far

[@pedrokio8359]

Eres uno de los mejores compañero Felicidades

[@Dairosky]

Like without even seen it !!!!! That's how awesome your videos are!!! Thanks again man Update! 11:57 😮😮

[@GerusDeimon]

я даже рекламу смотрю, чтоб видео больше было!) Нифига не понимаю, но на интуитивном уровне всё усваиваю)

[@coryvenezia5530]

Drew is there a way I can copy ur pids and rates. I’m new and suck at tuning. Ur my favorite fpv pilot and want to fly like u

[@muteFPV]

Good stuff Drew Love the YMCA move at 7:41 :P

[@randomguy037]

😂😂😂

[@Athiril]

Interesting you can auto mix roll and yaw, but instead of a fixed camera angle, you should have the option of using the flight controller angle, so it “always works”, if you wanted that.

[@enricop1589]

I like a lot the way you fly

[@qy3t77]

Wow your quad is smooth

[@skynyrdd1]

Great tutorial, thank you
