[@zevi]

Obviously you need to get MattyStuntz on here for the next tricks!

[@BisMaxx]

Although he has done an awesome job of covering his tricks on his own channel.

[@zevi]

Agreed! Been loving his trick series! Just got hot props set up on my computer the other day

[@briano70]

Definitely!

[@Jekop]

Could u help me with that :)?

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture7385]

( ͡° ͜ʖ͡°) Zevi Rubin don't read my channel name

[@hiwayM9]

I wanna see the double reverse inverted 4 count burpee with a half turn flip roll and a twist.

[@slipstrikerfpv919]

I too would like to see this

[@ShaneMatthews27]

Lol

[@madyet5235]

The Iron Lotus!!!!!

[@pabloespinosa9143]

shut up

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

Try saying that 4 times fast

[@lysd714]

This show is what has kept me interested in drones ever since my last scratch built 270 flew away. Thanks for doin what you do.

[@rscottyg1]

The intro with Tommy and Chad is the perfect example of why I love the personalities of the Rotor Riot guys. Much love!

[@isaiahordaz3046]

you guys are awesome. just started flying fpv yesterday. this really helped

[@Frogs77]

Johnny fpv needs to be on. I'd like to see how you go around an object and keep it in the shot. And is it just practice that gets your stops so spot on for flips and rolls? Awesome video cannot wait for more.

[@homeskillit5649]

Coordinating yaw and roll rate is something I never thought about. Great tip.

[@evelyndai8200]

i love how chad say "the branches are falling" 😂😂😂

[@4xprops457]

Thank you !!! This helped me get off the ledge and start the basics. Please keep these episodes going.

[@AdamsWorld84]

Awesome explaining!!! Now it seems possible to fly these crazy things.

[@stehodge9049]

Tommy, with having a 35 degree camera tilt, if you give full opposite yaw while performing a roll (roll-right, yaw-left), it will keep your camera perfectly on axis, similar to how adding roll into a yaw spins keeps it flat. Give it a try, you will see what i mean straight away.

[@mattystuntz]

Great episode Chad and Tommy. Would love to see Zoe doing her inverted madness.

[@ummagawdFPV]

I think so too! ;)

[@strepto42]

Yeah that'd be sweet :)

[@spodee55]

I think Zoe will be doing some 3D flying in upcoming episodes

[@spodee55]

Zoefpv she flies 3d

[@zanniemcrae9958]

Thank you, right balance of funny and serious

[@bob8086]

I couldnt even wait till the end of the video to go out and try to learn flips and rolls!!! I have never even flown acro mode so this was such an awesome experience! I only had one battery and i get about 5-10 minutes flite time! By the end of my first battery i could do basic rolls (still haven't attempted a flip)

[@PeXnb]

Awesome guys. Looking forward to the series.

[@captbuscemi]

Good work, guys, really good to recap the basics.

[@smac919]

Random..but a little tip to remember the difference between Y and X axis is that a Y has a vertical line in it (Y = vertical)

[@Bournefort]

When using the aircraft as your origin, the z axis is typically towards/away from the ground.

[@PBoogerwood]

Warms this professors heart that you remember something your 7th grade math teacher said!

[@davidpierson]

Loved those slow mo shots of the quads doing those tricks!

[@bhower02]

Please make more videos like this. i love learning about quadsand how to fly them. Thank You

[@klx300rider]

Absolutely awesome video!!! Great advice and points of knowledge. Thank you so much guys!!

[@carlylea]

I would like to see Charpu doing some sort of a video talking about how he started learning his stuff. He was the first pilot that I really watched, and I was amazed at what he was doing so early in this hobby.

[@timbell8208]

AWESOME episode guy's it's always nice to see you guy's giving back to the community and helping out us newbs.

[@aerotibor]

Nice, good to see that other people do flying mode 1 too, I always have some coments about it here in Uk because I do flying all my stuff (fixed wings, helis, fpv quads) in mode 1, it is fixed in my brain for 20 years and is hard to get it out from there, thx guys for cool video ;)

[@SteffNael]

yeah ! Great job guys ! mode 1 and 2 what a good job ! Thx so much. Next lesson power loop? see you 😉

[@S700KYFPV]

Thank you so much for all your help!

[@basstrom88]

Daaaaaang Chad has that Alien LOCKED IN! The bounce-back in fast movements is non-existent

[@vgvisionary]

Excellent vid! I just got into FPV 2 months ago and haven't had a chance to really get into flips. This was super friggin useful!

[@brianthomson3318]

Excellent job guys. Thanks so much. I'd love to see Rotor Riot showcase MattyStuntz or Johnny FPV.

[@notnimify]

YEAH THANK YOU !!!! I just got to this point in my flying. You guys are awesome

[@gaufpv6560]

Thanks guys, this is exactly what we need !

[@desfroos87]

awesome video, as usual guys!! today i've tried successfully power loops and that was great!! i'll try this type of flips&rolls cuz i always keep throttle up, and that's not good! thanks and please post more tutorials! cheers from Milan, Italy

[@kroplachistani]

Skitzo and MattyStuntz!! Skitzo for smooth flowing moves, linking tricks together...Matty for use of different camera tilts and how they open up new moves made possible

[@seancollins4320]

Guys I think it is great that you are doing this episode. Please keep doing these I think everyone likes! I know I do and thanks a bunch!

[@tenbadthings]

Thanks guys, love it.

[@SwagFang]

Lmao Drew putting props in Tommys hat. So funny.

[@eric-janvandenbogaard9415]

Thankyou, for yet again a great helpfull video, RR team ! also for promoting the fun element, in this great hobby ! that's also important, Thankyou !

[@mattsnuts]

Thanks for this. I'd never thought about doing flat spins before but theyr'e lots of fun!

[@MonsieurGrill]

Great video I like to way they explain their technique.

[@92ilan]

Slow-motions are just insane !

[@AlbeeSoaring]

Dang Tommy's Quad is so huge compared to his current Quads. So fun to go back and watch these old episode again.

[@j.morgan5159]

looking forward to the series, thanks for doing what you guys do.

[@moochasas]

I know it would be almost impossible but QUADMOVR would be a great watch. Love the aussie humor... good work propeller-heads.....

[@ShaneWymore]

Nice work! Always a pleasure to watch you guys at work lol. Can't wait to see part two!

[@FarmerFpv]

you guys need to keep up with this series tips and tricks I'm still waiting on the next video so I can improve on my flying and get some flow like you told me best regards Bay Area heli

[@olivierhacking]

Nice video! And perfect spot to show these tricks... not another human in sight ;)

[@rcomco]

Thanks Chad & Tommy It helps a lot!

[@LAHover]

Geart videos guys, looking forward to more tricks!

[@wildlizards]

Great video ! Thanks for the tips.

[@nickz1122]

this channel keeps getting better and better

[@old513fpv5]

Best RR to date. That's growing the hobby guys! Getting new-to-fpv guys and girls up to the bar. Notice I didn't day "newbie". Damn I said it!

[@Wsmith247]

Great video, just ordered a T-Shirt, keep up the good work.

[@recklessfpv4495]

I'd love to see more videos like from you guys!

[@geoffreymyers7291]

Great episode! Looking forward to the more complicated stuff for sure. Pilots I would love Rotor Riot to showcase are Johnny FPV, Skitzo, and Mattystuntz.

[@SpiralzFPV]

Yay, very cool miniseries!! On your request, plz show us how Matty Stuntz does his crazy backwards, upside down flying with crazy camera angles!! Please show us that!!! Daz killa dope stuf! 😆

[@Politicallyhomeless957]

Want more content like this. You two are my heroes

[@foxrace0985]

awesome! Thanks guys!

[@pabz06]

fuck yes, suggested this a while back and been looking forward to learning from you guys since. Excited for the rest of the series!!

[@eddieblack971]

Great job this is good info for the beginners

[@Redpointfpv]

HiFlite FPV- couple things I'd like to know: - how he keeps stability and flow through crazy maneuvers - his tuning methods & pitch/roll/yaw rates.. - how he prepares/practices for new moves - inverted yaw spin (while keeping yaw flat) - his camera angle, favorite setup, etc..

[@iangreen6208]

wicked guys that was a big thank's.

[@HammerRocks]

Great tutorial guys. Thank you for sharing. Here in Australia, it seems Mode 1 is more common so great to see both modes shown on your video.

[@Comaturge]

The flat spin trick was really usefull for me👌

[@MARLEYMATRIX]

Thanks this video was very helpful😎👍

[@michaelallensteele]

It would be cool to feature Quadmovr with his LOS skills in Acro. This is a different skill set to help us tune our quads. Not sure how you could film it though to educate us.

[@SiggyNowak]

FinalGlideAUS? LOS? You bet. facebook.com/matt.nowakowski/videos/1087184351303569/

[@Username_39894]

I agree 100%. Quadmovr is very good at LOS across and it would make a really cool video.

[@zacharias_b]

hell yes! but i think he is from switzerland, a bit far away.. :-/

[@michaelallensteele]

+NPJdirtbikes If he lives in Switzerland, that's too much of an ask. Maybe he can instruct us on his channel instead if he is willing. For example, this is how you do this... Etc.

[@michaelallensteele]

My guess is he uses min throttle or air mode to do his crazy rolls, flips, he some how knows orientation (how?), muscle memory (lots of practice), skill (of course) and thrust (power to weight) needs to be high.

[@PermaFrostmusic]

That was one of the best videos you have done so far! Great job.

[@2663540]

Thanks for sharing.. Figured out by trial and error flips and rolls.. But yaw flips was a bitch. I now do perfect yaw flips.. Thanks guys.

[@temporarychannelname8561]

Quads going in slow mo look so cool.

[@SteveRCPilot]

Great video! I think the single most important thing you guys mention in this video is regarding yaw spins and that you want to set your rates on roll and yaw such that when you give full stick on both you get a spin that's horizon level. You mention it so fast I think Chad mentions it that it could be missed easily. I recently realized this myself and I balanced my rates to yaw spin 360 level with the horizon and it just makes flying the quad so much more balanced on all axis in flight that flying feels much more fluid moving the sticks. Literally everything is easier when you set your rates to yaw spin level with the horizon. You could do a whole video on just this topic alone. I love doing 360 yaw spins so much now I've been doing them all the time, check out my last couple uploads I'm loving the yaw spins!

[@berkutmig8319]

So this is exclusive to angle mode? No possibility to do it in acro mode?

[@HeinrichAngela]

Awesome.....!!! In no particular order, imo the worlds BEST freestylers. - Johnny Schaer - Mr. Steele - MattyStuntz I'm all in for the technical stuff..

[@i13radyi]

Of course you gotta put Johnny FPV on the next installment!! That kid's a monster!

[@DJAnyStyle]

Yeeeeeeeeah RR! Killing it.

[@ike___]

Awesome! very useful tips!!

[@ambermeows150]

The video i've been waiting for!

[@kjv7438]

Great episdoe!! Can you highlight your ideas on how to do an orbit around an object or subject? And how to perform power loops?

[@northernflyer5311]

Excellent guys!

[@Frogzy]

Please do more episodes like this!!!!

[@David__]

Great to see Chad & Tommy having some fun flying :) Really wish this was around a couple of years ago when I started flying, would have sped up the learning curve a lot. Suggestions on pilots to feature: Juz, Skitzo, Snaaake, MattyStuntz!

[@RobertCollins14]

As always an amazing video guys, thanks. I can't remember the exact video or pilot but someone did a climb while circling a telephone pole and it looked spectacular. I'd like to see a how to on how to do that smoothly. The same how to could go over circling a fixed object and keeping it in the same part of the frame.

[@Taematoe]

Crazy stuff thanks for the info.

[@morganym20]

enjoyed the video and was useful. props on his goggles was hilarious!

[@GibsonLesPaul2273]

You guys are good at explaining this stuff for noobs. That bit at 10:22 was useful info, its twisting my melon this acro mode and camera angles.

[@ThePromptWizard2023]

We need a lesson on backwards flight - reacharounds, yaw one way while facing down and in the other direction, pitch spin, etc. I must admit, when you said inverted yaw spins and power loops were more advanced tricks I smiled since I can do those now lol

[@daleknight8351]

Thanks, helped much !!

[@fredsandford7649]

it's bad ass here very drone friendly town with awesome spots

[@slipstrikerfpv919]

still loving it guys. you're an inspiration, but you know what?? a mode 3 TX is what I got for my birthday... so that's what I learned on :( definitely get mattystunts, hiflite, banniuk, and Johnny on here. they're my favs

[@slipstrikerfpv919]

would love a video with side-slipping, the "out-of-control-but-not-actually" move, and ninja star spins!

[@livewire1414]

Whats mode 3? Yaw and aileron swapped?

[@slipstrikerfpv919]

+AeroScrew it's basically mode 2 with the sticks just swapped sides on the transmitter

[@3DMOFO2020]

A very insightful info guys yes please bring in John aka Skitzo and Zoe FPV as well in the next installment.

[@Redpointfpv]

I'd also like to see an episode on how you guys set up your Throttle MID, Throttle EXPO, RC rate, RC expo, & RC Yaw Expo- which numbers you use, how it all works, & which combinations of values are better for racing, freestyle, etc... & if you set some of this up on your Taranis or not..

[@m3fpv253]

It would be awesome if you guys made a behind the scenes channel! we get to see more of your antics lol

[@FrizFPV]

hey guys new to the channel and with your guys help i have successfully done some tricks. well after i forgot to turn on air mode and killed the motors haha but after that wad nice still some tuning to do but bout to watch steels videos on that lol

[@Politicallyhomeless957]

Awesomesauce 🤘 Thanks for the knowledge 🙏

[@BigWillieFPV]

hey guys need more of these tutorials please one a week will do nicely that's guys 👍😉

[@JCQuadcopters]

For anyone wondering, when chad threw his quad and broke a prop, that screen that flashed up just said Rotor Riot, Rotor Riot, Rotor Riot etc with a beep in the middle :)

[@NicholasBuckeridge]

I think having both MattyStuntz and Zoe FPV would be awesome, in particularly with them demonstrating 3D tricks.

[@danielyount9812]

Excellent tricks.

[@UlyHeadsUp]

thank for these cool tips.

[@WanderinWizard]

great vid guys 👍🏻 hell yes! bring matty stuntz on!!!

[@Swisscodsw]

thanks. great Video!!!!

[@Jestlow]

I like that it took about a year and a half for our frames to look like this again.

[@KarstenKoerner]

very helpful. Thanks

[@savoyman1958]

Feature HiFlite FPV. That kid is amazing.
