How To Do A Dead-Stop | QUADCOPTER TRICK TUTORIAL

Please consider supporting me via Patreon at: / thedroneracingengineer
In this tutorial, I present a move that I call the dead-stop. To perform the dead-stop, you pitch the multirotor back until it stops moving. Then you can punch out, flip or roll, or even back straight away. This move looks awesome in an acro flight, and it's even useful for avoiding crashing into things.

I've just started in the hobby and you have been great help. Thanks Joshua you're an absolute legend, huge respect sir!

[@Mupshot]

re-watching old videos for perspective. having been a camera drone (Mavic style) flier for the years prior to flying FPV, this was the video that blew my mind, seeing you climb those trees looking up without my quite understanding how.

Well, I started a year ago, and am starting to follow this series of tutorials. I've moved up to a LDARC 115 v3{started with a snapper 7}, because I don't get to many open areas, which is the only place I'll fly my 5" for now. Love the stick overlays. It's easy to transfer from the 115 to the 5", You're teaching me so much, I might have to up my Patreon disbursement!

[@speedstalkersFPV]

Thanks for breaking this down, you make everything seem so simple. Love it.

Hi Joshua. Greetings from across the pond. Just wanted to thank you for all your work. To be so happy to share all your superb information is a true joy. My brain feels bigger from all the learning. So let me be the first to wish you a happy Beltane...

[@chrisstolle5664]

Dude, like the series a lot. Your lucky to have a place to fly right outside your house. I would love that.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Chris Stolle Pretty lucky to live here, for sure.

[@ThePromptWizard2023]

Pretty cool. I had been practicing this but not to stop, but rather to throw myself backwards and try to do tricks as the view goes backwards. I like the go straight up and spin 180 then back down, awesome move.

[@MrZomhad]

While watching this there came a lot of moves into my mind you could do based on this one, for example: when you pulled back, throttled up and are hovering you could roll over a 180° instead of going backwards. Would be a pretty cool turn I think, or you could do a backflip out of the hovering and keep moving forwards then if there is any tight gap you don't feel confident to fly through fast you could do the move I just explained. Tuns of moves are coming up to my mind while watching this, I love the series, keep it up man!! Greetings from Germany

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+ZomhadRC AWESOME! Really glad it's inspiring you to try new things.

[@DroneLoversFPV]

I´m going back on most of your vids and I´m learning a lot... Thanks man, I really apreciate the tips of the trade that you share with us "noobs"... All the best Joshua

[@GawainReif]

Really liking this series Joshua! I think you've found a niche...

[@Rcschim]

ncie one! these are my favourite vids from you. each time I see one I instantly wonna go out and practise (which I still need a lot!). thanks!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+RCSchim thank you! Glad it's helping.

[@AlexCastignani]

thanks for your video ...very helpful!!

[@HalfChrome]

Thanks man. Love your channel. Just found this gem.

[@kip383]

thanks I'll check them all out

[@Rcschim]

oh yea, yesterday I listend to Chad Nowa's Q&A on FB and he mentioned your name in regards to which batteries are good (he refferred to your test of lumenier graphenes)

[@ryan0io]

In fixed wing 3d airplanes, we call this a 'wall', as it's like you literally hit a wall. Done differently with fixed wing of course. You'd have medium forward speed at medium throttle, then cut power to idle and hit full up elevator. With high enough rates and a responsive enough plane, this will do an extremely quick 1/4 loop to vertical. Doing this at zero throttle should prevent most or all altitude gain. Once vertical bring throttle back up to maintain hover, or climb out. A 'parachute' is the same thing just instead of horizontal speed, you start by heading straight down, no throttle. Then pull quick up elevator to do the quick 1/4 loop and stop downward movement. Kind of like you popped a parachute. Both these can be done inverted by using full down elevator and either starting inverted (wall), or ending up inverted (parachute).

[@crimsonfancy]

very cool. Thank you.

[@AirgunsmithNL]

learning a lot thanks and nice flying thumbs up :D

[@networkgeek1450]

The flight is very long (instead of the typical 3 minutes). What drone can fly this long?

[@mouzel]

Is that the lift off map in real life?😱

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Yep.

[@ahut10]

what are you using to log and also overlay display of your controls? thank you in advanced it's awesome

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Blackbox log records the data. Here's how I do the overlay: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5TPi3mCg6xlaZY

[@sensemusicofficial]

do you need motor stop disabled for this ?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

No. Check the throttle. I'm never below min_check.

[@hartabgestellt4046]

Did you invert the forward/backward pitch axis? Looks like you are pulling the right stick for bringing the nose up.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Hart Abgestellt pulling the pitch stick back to bring the nose up is the normal way in pretty sure.

[@hartabgestellt4046]

+Joshua Bardwell jeah, sure.. right..my mistake.

[@kip383]

Hi Joshua, My name is kip. I'm new to fpv . I have only been flying for a few months. I still fly attitude. Could you suggest some ways for me to practice rate. Rate is so much smoother flight. Anything will be appreciated.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Well, I have this whole series of lessons...

[@mattsnuts]

Joshua, how do you do proper loops, ala The Circle of Life video by Mr Steele (see at 2:14). I've seen mattystuntz do similar loops

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+mattsnuts gooood question. Let me work on a video for that. The short answer is to pitch back slowly while keeping the throttle up, until about the 10-o'clock position on the loop. Then cut throttle and continue pitching back slowly while letting momentum carry you through the loop. It can help to do this type of move with an object like a tree or building to the side of you, so you have visibility out the corner of your eye to help you practice the timing.

[@mattsnuts]

Joshua Bardwell nice one, thanks! I look forward to the video, in the mean time I'll try that the sim

[@HexDan]

its called a drone fakie

[@PaulKruskamp]

Have you ever got your drone stuck way up in a tree?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Dean Thorton Not yet. I've gotten stuck in a tree, but not "way up".
