Improved THROTTLE CONTROL for your FPV FREESTYLE drone with this drill! FPV Drone Freestyle Tips

FPV drone throttle control can be very tricky to master. I recently discovered this drill, and it really seems to help train the skill. I've actually started to notice a difference in my throttle control and freestyle trick skills! Bonus flight video at the end! :)
Got any other ideas like this to improve your skills? I'd love to hear them! Let me know in the comments down below!

really great to see some videos actually focusing on fpv training and not just showcasing cool spots

[@propabilityfpv]

Yea, the community (myself included) really needs to get better at that. That's one of my big goals for the year!

[@Sai_FPV]

Please please please make a trick/drill/routine series. Your approach towards drone flight phenomenons seems to be very scientific and easily understandable. Would love to practice other drills to master flying. Great flying as always, never stop helping other pilots too 🎉.

[@propabilityfpv]

So glad to hear you say that! I absolutely will continue making videos like this. Thanks for stopping by!

[@MJC_Drones]

Please keep making these videos. Love the straightforward advice. Great flying as well.

[@propabilityfpv]

Thanks, will do!

[@FlyZoneFpv]

This is great. Nice demonstration on this trick 👌🤘🏻🔥

[@AsgardStudios]

Great tutorial! Im going to try this. Cheers!

[@propabilityfpv]

Thanks for watching! Hope you get something from it. Let me know if you've got any other ideas like this, I'd love to try them out!

[@danil7339]

It's VERY difficult to find a good tutorials/hints for FPV pilots. A lot of people flying very well, but they just can't explain how, cause they can't teach properly. Even if they want. But not you! Thanks for the video, you're really good at explaining stuff like that. keep up the good work. Subscribed.

[@danil7339]

and can i give you a little advise with filming? Lock your exposure and ISO. 10:00-10:05 you can see the problem with that (and not only there). If your camera able to lock this parameters of course

[@propabilityfpv]

I'm so so glad to hear you say that, because that's my entire goal of my channel! Thank you for watching!

[@propabilityfpv]

I typically do lock shutter and iso, but I didn't have any working ND filters that day and it was too bright to not use one unfortunately 🙄

[@yuriy77]

​@@propabilityfpv you could still lock it before you take off for an average exposure.

[@danil7339]

@@propabilityfpv haha, always have the same problem with ND, ok:)

[@kingkieck]

I'm glad you chose the rewind as the drill. Not only will it help people improve IMO, but it is a trick/maneuver that looks so sweet when done smoothly and properly that the pilot will enjoy smoothing it out after 60 reps instead of a boring maneuver that'll just cause lost interest in doing the work, letting ADD take over practice, turning it into a jam session instead of real practice. Kudos on this one buddy.

[@propabilityfpv]

Thanks for the kind words! Rewinds combine a bit of everything to look good, most of all throttle & momentum control! This just seems to make you much more comfortable super low to the ground.

[@maskedmuchacho]

Throttle management is king, will have to give this a go next time I'm out cheers. What helped me when I first started flying for any newer pilots reading, is doing races in the simulator. Because it forces you to hit gates/gaps that you probably aren't comfortable with to begin with. I wasn't aiming to win races to start with, just to be able to finish without crashing and after a while you will be winning every race. Even if you aren't interested in racing at all, it will make you a better pilot overall. Its a long road and I still got a long ways to go as well, but FPV is a skill game that only time spent in the air will improve so keep sending it.

[@propabilityfpv]

Great tip. I'm actually starting to do those too, and I've also noticed the improvement in throttle control. Really makes you be precise when you're flying through a small gate at 60mph!

[@fpvkevlar8101]

Good video and training practice 😊

[@propabilityfpv]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Photonees]

Gonna train this in the sim!

[@propabilityfpv]

Great plan! I've found this to be one of the most clear ways the sim feels legit different than IRL. I think the momentum for your specific quad just isn't accurately represented in the sims- even if you play with the weight. But its still excellent practice to get the general feel down! Thankfully we have sims these days to save us money!

[@Yartin]

That's exactly what I decided to do and I very quickly found out I cannot do the rewind at all lol

[@propabilityfpv]

@@Yartin Lol don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it down fine with some practice!

[@nugrostv4600]

Thanks for the tips

[@buddahblack5581]

Fantastic video thank you . I will definitely put these tips in to practice also I totally agree that you need more focused practice to improve as an fpv pilot .

[@propabilityfpv]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it helps you!

[@stilesfpv1382]

Rewinds we’re looking good. It really helps just going on and grinding instead of trying to get a video up. Good flying

[@propabilityfpv]

Absolutely! This year I plan to focus more on the process of learning/vlog style videos. They're more fun and I feel like people get more out of them. Thanks for watching!

[@nicoladebiasi6759]

It's been a while I am looking for a good video series on how to improve my Fpv skills. I like your approach very much, looking forward the next videos.

[@flowstate_link]

Yes excellent

[@propabilityfpv]

Glad you enjoyed, I will definitely make more videos in this series

[@StacemanFPV]

Interesting idea for working on throttle control..I like it

[@bren42069]

heck yea. i'll collect your drills for sure

Thank u for this tutorial sir, im new to fpv im still on a simulator now,and got my first controller the radiomaster pocket (elrs), subscribed!👌😊

[@tiagoborgesburiti129]

Thanks for the tips! Really nice drill

[@flowstate_link]

Ganna giver a go!!! sweet assss

[@flowstate_link]

Another tip can be cornering really low / (fast / medium slow) as you are in a park and following a painted line (preferably right angles) if you mess up you will be hopping if you are two low you will crash into the grass (5 inch should be fine unless you are going really fast). You can up the anti on concrete but it can be harder to find painted lines but a path or road can work. If you are clipping your front props and cutting them down you are just a little low fly a few cm higher.

[@wulfffpv]

Nice job on video

[@propabilityfpv]

Thanks for watching!

[@iyusfpv]

Thank u so much sir

[@propabilityfpv]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@Mandafpv]

Nice video very helpful, can you tell me what fpv camera angle you use ?

[@propabilityfpv]

I use between 20-25. I think that gives a good mix of speed and ability to do most tricks. It also seems to be a good midrange angle that works in almost all spots.

[@yesil1026]

Almost 40 hours on some simulators and I'm still struggling at a map like Minus Two - Liftoff. Either hitting the ceiling or crashing. I'm gonna try this drill on the simulator.

[@propabilityfpv]

To be fair, that map can be pretty challenging! Hopefully this drill helps build that understanding of your drone’s momentum! If not, you might also want to look into tiny whoops. They’re super sensitive to throttle changes and they kind of force you to learn it. Plus you can fly inside all year!

[@propabilityfpv]

that too! just watch out for branches!

[@alejandromedina-ix5yx]

Hey man, you used to run a XL 5 frame right? How is the AOS compared to that? Durability and smooth flying. Oh and thanks for this much needed video

[@propabilityfpv]

Yep, I moved to the AOS when I switched to digital. The AOS does feel very locked in, especially after tuning. But the durability doesn’t seem to be as good as the XL5. The thinner arms are a big downside for durability, but the motors are protected very well- haven’t broken a single bell yet! It probably isn’t the best choice for a Bando basher though!

[@payjota777]

I agree with you on the drills!!! Would love to see more!

[@propabilityfpv]

Will do!

[@brianfreland9065]

A very slight throttle curve goes a long way

[@propabilityfpv]

Truth!

[@franciscolezcano7441]

which is the best throttle expo to practice this? default?

[@propabilityfpv]

I'd recommend doing this, and any other freestyle practice at the expo you'd use when actually flying freestyle. I've found if you start tinkering with it being different settings all the time, it tends to hold you back because you're always adjusting to a new "feel". There's exceptions to everything of course but I think that's a solid plan in general. That being said, I personally use .20-.30 for all of my freestyle flying-practice or not. The only time I'll ever change it is if I'm doing some very specific type of flying- like for a client or something. Other than that I leave it alone and just focus on improving my skill with the same settings. Hope that helps!

[@TheHelicapt]

I like those stick ends. Where did you get them. Are they 3D printed, maybe a file you can point me to ?

[@propabilityfpv]

I'm a big fan, really improves the grip! I do sometimes wish I went with something a bit slimmer, but they're still good: www.getfpv.com/thumb-grippies-q-tips-stick-end.html

[@TheHelicapt]

@@propabilityfpv Awesome. Thanks a lot

[@marcelbee]

I wonder what kind of stick ends you are using?

[@propabilityfpv]

[@marcelbee]

@@propabilityfpv thx for the quick reply. Fortunately i've ordered them a week ago myself from getfpv. Will take them another week for delivery to europe. Yours look fairly high, did you raise them with spacers or am i wrong?

[@propabilityfpv]

Yea they're raised a bit, not screwed all the way down. I like them sticking out more because it gives a bit better precise control. I couldn't give you a specific measurement for the height, its kind of just by feel. Do what feels most natural to you!

[@ghostrot]

You must have very low camera angle

[@flowstate_link]

Meeee toooo

[@propabilityfpv]

Its 20-25. I feel like it gives a good mix of speed and ability to do most tricks. Also seems to work well in most locations!

[@JPspinFPV]

What's that theme you have on your radio?

[@propabilityfpv]

I think its RL_BurgundyRed. Super cool looking!

[@Braincho]

its a 5"quad, sint' it? 6 min on 1100mah bat? wow.. is 1300mah couldn't fit better ?

[@propabilityfpv]

Yep! Gotta remember, you're not really punching the throttle much or flying very fast. Lasts awhile if you're not drawing so much current.
