Acro Spotlight - Power Loops | FPV ACRO FREESTYLE WITH STICKS OVERLAY

[@frankyoualot]

“Battery Critical” and the sound track is awesome...thank you, excited and terrified to try this the right way

[@young_laredofpv8717]

You son of a... Came for powerloops and got rick rolled hahaha

[@FarmerFpv]

Your 50% speed session is faster than most my 100% speed sessions , lol. Awesome job on this one.

[@michaelallensteele]

Great video and nice power loop session! I wish I had trees near by. But on the other hand, it's cool to see how high you can get with power loops.

[@davidlondon3111]

I was wondering when that tree would get you! Great video - thanks for sharing

[@TheXanUser]

Learned a lot from this video. Thanks Josh! Now when are you doing (slow) power barrel rolls??! :)

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Hmmm... good suggestion. Actually, they are not too hard as long as you are in a big open field. Just leave the throttle up and gently cross-coordinate a roll.

[@SquirrelSings1]

I've been watching and trying everything you put out. Thanks too you I am becoming a very decent pilot. Very impressed with your videos. Thanks

[@sisairosp]

Hi, Joshua. I like to say thanks for teaching me a few tricks which I learn from your videos. I was wondering if a vertical figure 8 can be done. As the quad drops at the tail end of the power loop, roll 180 to the opposite side and power loop to complete a figure 8. I am still not yet confident with my power loop, so I thought if you have done such a move.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Yeah, sure, you can definitely do that. I bet if you watch pilots doing proximity acro on multiple levels, you will see them do that sort of thing.

[@AUGozzy]

Damn nice session Josh. Thanks for uploading. That helps me a lot. PS. That is the craziest sound when you drop to 1/4 speed. Tie Fighter Loops :D

[@GroFPV]

Hi Joshua, I'm an addict of your videos since I discover your channel a few months ago. It's possible to record only the sticks for saving space of the data flash? How do you export them for merging it with the fpv vídeo?

[@SeanDuffyProductions]

Great video, I'm currently trying to get the courage to try a powerloop and this helped a lot! You might want to add a delay to your battery warning so you don't get "battery critical" at the top of your loop, though. :)

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Sean Duffy there's already a delay I assure you. The battery is just saggy.

[@SeanDuffyProductions]

Ahh fair enough.

[@MkmeOrg]

Hmm does that actually count as a Rick-Roll? Judges ruling? Sneaky one Josh :) Cheers Bud

[@reisfpv638]

awesome keep them coming

[@dingleberry1980]

Another Great Vids!... love the power loop!... "Baaaaaattttteeeerrrrryyyyy criiiitiiiiccccaaal!... very Funny!

[@MadMarcWinnipeg]

That was great!! Thanks man! 👍😊

[@darthwoopv573]

that's genius!! I'm going to try that right now! Thank you for this super helpful video:)

[@ChristopherPunton]

Hey great video could I ask you what camera uptilt your using in this video?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Christopher Punton about 40.

[@GeordieMilne]

sick flow

[@whollymindless]

That tree wanted your quad after all that taunting. Good choice picking on the 6 foot tree rather than the 60 foot one.

[@mattozx6rr]

Yeah the 60 foot ones seem to be my goto for sticking a quad.

[@retal052]

WOW!!! Nice. Things are MUCH easier if you arent lugging around a heavy HD cam.... Ive been using my bulletproof 4 inch alien to learn new tricks. Great video man :D

[@doktordrone]

very cool

[@kanta4goo]

Joshua, is it acro or air mode? As i see, you decrease throttle to zero?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Air mode is not a flight mode. It's just a modifier to acro mode. This would have been done with air mode or idle up I don't remember which.

[@Heywood-----Jablomeh]

excellent yes, excellent indeed

[@jack00scarecrow]

cant remember the last awesome session i had ;)

[@KoekeBeest1985]

Tomorrow perhaps a power loop :P Gonna try

[@badmofo350]

I'm using some dys xm30a blheli escs. Can I just select multishot in the BF GUI or do I need to change something on the escs also?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+DrFuNK XM30 is regular blheli. It doesn't support multishot unless you flash the multishot firmware to it. The easiest way to do this is from yhe Chrome blheli configuration app.

[@badmofo350]

Joshua Bardwell ok thanks. Will the app use passthrough via the fc?

[@charleswang3131]

How do you get audio in your dvr?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I record it with a microphone on the ground and then manually sync it in editing.

[@jac6255]

Hey! You are doing a lot of roundups. lipos, flight controllers etc. What would you say about doing some testing of motors and escs? You don't have to mount them to a quad, it would be purely scientific. RPM, Acceleration, thrust, amps, [vibration, noise @ no load] and how these values change between escs & esc capabilities. IDK, I think it'd be a cool experiment.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Sir Jacob miniquadtestbench.com is doing that far better than I could.

[@Silor]

That RickRoll

[@Maxisokol]

The thumbnail look like a photo of Earth from the space station. :)

[@MoppelMat]

Maybe bc it is

[@gregroberts7394]

hey josh, so i recently purchased a wizard and when ever i arm the motors and move the throt up a few notches then hold it there on my radio my motors start accelerating uncontrollably i do not know how to fix this please help , i am using betaflight 3.01, blheli s esc with latest firm ware

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Are your props on or off?

[@gregroberts7394]

off, and the motors are going up to full throttle

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Motors do weird things with the props off. Slowly accelerating to full is not unusual. Check that the motors spin the right direction. Check that the props are on correctly. Check that the motors are wired correctly (motor 1 is back right and so forth). Check that the 3D model moves the right direction when you tilt the copter by hand. Then go somewhere safe and try to hover.

[@gregroberts7394]

ok, and i just pluged in and idled on the while watching the motors tab on beta, i found that the motors where not idleing at the same speed m1 was at 1025 , m2 - 1032 , m3- 1094 , m4 1120 when i went up on the throt a lil i took some screen shots i can send

[@young_laredofpv8717]

What are you flying in this vid?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

+Young_Laredo FPV secret

[@young_laredofpv8717]

Joshua Bardwell Oh ya, those are supposed to be pretty good

[@JoshuaBardwell]

No, no. It's a secret. I don't want to reveal.

[@young_laredofpv8717]

Joshua Bardwell That's a long name for a quad but hey, if it flies right

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Who's on first?

[@dvnstone]

Oh ya,,,, power looks and Rick Ashley!

[@theibault]

I think your Taranis lady is still drunk from Thanksgiving dinner. She's slurring her words lol. Baterry critic...on never mind, where's my scotch?

[@whollymindless]

Theibault I was laughing. Battery critical - Meh.

[@AshleyAcademy]

Did i just get Rick Rolled?

[@riversma]

NIce :-)

[@ICEMAN_GLX]

the thumbnail looks like space LOL

[@crybaby982]

I feel as if I was accidentally rick rolled😕

[@MoppelMat]

CUT that tree down! It did cost you a fortune in props alone already!

[@Dontbeweakvato]

your transmitters sounds like it's on Quaaludes. battery criiitiicalll
