Pro drone racer shares his secrets. Can he shave 3 seconds off my time? (With Evan Turner of Fly533)

[@noobFPV]

I charge all my batteries. Crash my drone on first battery, then spend rest of the day discharging batteries.

[@lostartefpv]

LMAO gotta get a spare quad Lol

[@pitufolaiguana]

LOOOOOOL cant stop laughing

[@sashgorokhov]

True story bro

[@jordanh3046]

So true...

[@AKtoTok]

Lollll 😂

[@FPVian]

I'M GONNA LEARN SOMETHING TODAY. Pack it up boys, he finally said it.

[@tehllama42]

I have to say how overall invaluable it is to have somebody faster than you who is patient actually explain small, achievable things you can do that enable you to go faster

[@Vousie]

The parts where Evan just stops before the gate or reverses and goes around to do it again as he's explaining is what really demonstrated just how much control he has over the quad. It's super impressive.

[@joshlikessurfing]

Not everyone is a good teacher, Evan definitely has that skill locked.

[@kamilcoccyx7153]

This video is so precious. You should do a series like that. With Evan, or with different racers !

[@CHRISGr33r]

A training tool that helped me a ton was scaling my power down in betaflight to 60-70%. These quads have so much power you end up spending more time trying to manage your throttle instead of flying smooth and conserving momentum. It also give you more throttle resolution and added flight time to get more laps in.

[@tango_sierra8608]

You should do a vid like this for freestyle. I like the “JB learns something today” vids haha. Have a good freestyle pilot talk you through a trick or something you lack at

[@Moonsauc3]

Have you seen joshuas beginner tricks to learn? Check it out. If you can learn his trick list then you shouldn't have problems doing/learning new tricks. It's mostly just stick time and practice

[@tango_sierra8608]

@@Moonsauc3 yeah I have. I don’t really need to learn anything per-say. I just like watching that kind of video tbh. Like the video he did testing out stinger swarm frame where they went trick for trick and discussed- loved that style vid

[@hazonku]

@@tango_sierra8608 Yup, that's one of my faves too.

[@TheDro]

@@tango_sierra8608 same here, there are little tiny tips that get blurted out once in a while and you get that A-HA moment for something you may not have fully understood in the past.

[@jandeman2377]

More race vids pls!!! Love it

[@walkershot92]

My favorite video of any video you have ever done. Great job.

[@joecrupi9381]

Been racing for about 2 years. I’ve been improving and but also feel I’m plateauing but the ‘turning gates into flags’ concept is so simple yet so practicable. Thanks heaps for this single awesome tip.

[@Izlolz]

Evan is just such a nice guy. Keep it up guys, I love this content

[@ryeyoo]

it's amazing how you did exactly what evan described. i can get racing tips all day long, but not have the ability to execute them. your flying is top notch, mr. bardwell

[@hookprobe]

well done Evan.

[@stevefarrimond]

I had a similar experience. Spent 3 days on track at Portimao on my motorbike. I spent time on track and sat next to Dean Ellison (racer and coach). I became, smoother, faster and later on the brakes just by taking some techniques. These sort of opportunities are invaluable.

[@gregdeon705]

Awesome Vid , Thankyou Evan Turner for showing JB and us as well . I do hope you and Evan do more of these video's .

[@CyclingMikey]

What a great video! Evan is an *excellent* teacher too, coming from someone who teaches for a living.

[@StantonLuke]

What an awesome guy!! True class act! Great video!

[@quintezmurry3850]

I like his style. Your like my 2 alter egos. Ones super analytical and the other simplifies and shoots.

[@kelvinwolf225]

What a beautiful background. Looks like a poster, almost. Great video too!

[@d3c0deFPV]

Interesting to see what's going through Evan's head. Good format for a video, would watch more like this.

[@airplanenut6242]

I really appreciate the "betaflight" bleep snuck in there. 🤣🤣🤣

[@SpiritOfAirbender]

Both of them ✌️😉

[@ITtechnerd]

Tak!

[@JonE5FPV]

Such useful information. I just published my interview with heads up a few days ago. I didn’t think about extracting racing tips from him. If bardwell beats me in the qualifier this year then it worked for sure.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

What's your time!

[@R2GO]

Wow mr. Bardwell. It's been a while I saw you flying. you really improved your racing skill.

[@archer4922]

Awesome tips Evan and JB!!!! Love it when the pros share these tips. Only a few have done it like Nytfury and Vanover and a couple more. 👍👍 two thumbs up and a new vid in my Fpv training playlist. Now to just get back to flying and figure out a way to not work on Sunday’s so I can get back racing.

[@Junishiro]

WOW this is sooo enlighting I LOVE YOU Guys! Thank you!!!

[@bakerfx4968]

Seeing the progression through this was really cool! Great vid

[@jlarson42]

Very interesting and fun video. The explanations made sense and the crash responses were hilarious. Happy racing. 🤓

[@OutsetFPV]

I found the idea about not flying through gates, but flying around poles super interesting. I recalled my first time ever trying to race and all I could think about was getting through the gate. I never really thought anything of it until Evan explained it that way. I notice now, when I'm flying, I never think about the gate anymore. I don't even really see the gate, just the pole that I know I need to get around. super interesting.

[@PatClevenger]

This was awesome. I really like this JB learns something because I REALLY learn something Great vibe and info.

[@MattVentureNL]

Great vid, very nice how your document your racing journey JB!

[@xiandan54]

First JB video I watched from beginning to end, thank you Evan! 😂😂😂

This was amazing to watch! Damn Evan is so good that just sitting next to him can help you get better at racing lol JB is improving more and more every vid!!!!👍

[@Mikebfpv]

I feel like you're all grown up all the sudden haha! Excellent analysis and break down Evan!... JB def learned something today.

[@benjocharlie]

Well, out of the gate I was really impressed with your flying! Honestly had no idea you were actually this good at racing.

[@HuubvanVeenhuyzen]

This was just - the best content - ever. Really nice 👍

[@unstoppable6047]

You improved alot during this. Nice work bro

[@tarbot]

I always thought you were more of a freestyle pilot Joshua, btw nice DVR footage!

[@pctechadvisor]

Josh - "I am kind of, plateauing" Evan - "Yep" lmao I know he didn't mean it in a bad way but, that was funny.

[@Mr.Freestyle.]

Some excellent tips from Evan. 🎩👌

Thanks JB, love your content. Keep teaching and learning!

Evan turner has the new 533 antenna on the goggles. They look clean asf

[@jessjoshwyatt3571]

Since watching you 3 years ago you've improved everywhere so much that's so awesome. Just wish I could improve half as fast as you. I'm almost scared to fly mine just cuz I don't wanna crash it. Can't wait to see you when u get to DRL! I think you could do it

[@BornIIfly]

Hi great tutorial/explanation 👍 JB you should’ve let Evan try your goggles. The goggles comparison would’ve been a important factor in racing. You have to see how you fly. Take care 🤓😉😘

[@uavtech]

LOL ... 4:14 -- of course. FTW as always!!

[@HDgodfrey]

Seriously enjoyed this content. I mean, I love 90% of content you make and I miss about 10% so I wouldn't say I'm unbiased. I really enjoyed this though, was a great listen at work.

[@hateeternalmaver]

Wow I think Evan's tips really helped Joshua!

[@kwstakyc]

At 2:52 he mentions that the track's name is global qualifier, is there any chance that you know the full name of the track? I wanna to try and find it in velocidrone.

[@Styxen_Stones]

The original track is the multigp 2021 global qualifier

[@zachspross1084]

Cheat codes to FPV racing!! Excellent video thank you both

[@weevilinabox]

Thanks Joshua and Evan. So many useful tips packed into this video, all clearly explained and well reasoned. A simple thing like approaching gates at the angle you want on exit is so obvious...once someone's pointed it out 😉

[@odyss160]

@17:25 as hes gunning it, you can hear the dandelion just scream wretched murder.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

This works really good, curse at yourself when you make mistakes like flying wide. "I fly wider than my mother drives on a straight road" etc.

[@sjoervanderploeg4340]

And of course, practice more tracks. After like 30-45 minutes you usually stop learning from repetition.

How do you fix the LQ 9 issue ? I have a Bardwell AIO on it with the Betaflight 4.2.1. My RSSI is 0 and LQ is always 9.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The answer depends on what receiver you're using. It sounds like the receiver is not reporting lq at all (some don't) so you can just turn lq off.

[@ThomasShue]

Jb You fly way better than you think

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Excellent

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

Awesome. 🤙🏼

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

I’ve been in a huge crossroad on what to do now in fpv. I like to freestyle but I have been more and more wanting to build up a race rig and see what happens with that after some race training. However I just went digital and don’t have my analog stuff anymore….( I know stupid to get rid of it but unfortunately financially it wasn’t really possible at the moment. Don’t know if I should still build a race rig on DJI/ just get a analog adapter/ or save up and get a analog goggle set

[@Infernokron]

You can start with an analog adapter for the DJI goggles. The most important thing to do for your first race, is to just go, don't worry too much about showing up with the "right" gear. Get out to a race, talk to the people there, check out what gear other people in the area are running. Half the fun of racing is hanging out with a group of people interested in the same hobby as you. You'll also have a much better idea after your first race of what direction you want to go, both with gear, and FPV in general.
