How to fly Line Of Sight : Acro Tutorial Part 2

[@AerRider]

I started with LOS in 2016 on a toy drone that only had angle mode. I went from there to the DJI phantom/Mavic cine world for video production. Now doing FPV, also cine for video production. I’m so glad to have found your channel and a return to the value of LOS for further skills development. Big thanks!

[@robertsmith1071]

Im completely new to FPV and these videos are really informative and helpful , thanks dude !

[@butteredbutter420]

I have learned alot from watching these videos. You explain it in a way that it sticks in my head and Im seeing it as Im practicing. Thank you so much

[@TheRCAddict]

So glad they help!

[@SomeoneElseMorphed]

First like in 6 years@@TheRCAddict

[@mike216ism]

Excellent teacher. Definitely supporting the channel. Love this series

[@IDriveAnAudi]

I just commented on the first video a bit ago, and all of the positive comments apply here as well. I wish I wasn't traveling at the moment so I could practice right now! Thanks again!!

[@jaybirdfpv5034]

Following these steps is a pretty good guideline by the way. Helping me get the feel of my x210 down pat. I know that's a pretty big starting drone, but I love this thing.

[@MuLoO123]

great explanation there, can't wait for part 3

[@3eggerfpv397]

That was bad-ass! Learned a ton off watching these fly lessons!

[@deanhuff123]

You are a very good pilot, I am impressed. As soon as I turn 90 degrees I lose total control, my mind can't process switching pitch and roll via LOS yet....but I can do the flippy floppies when directly behind the quad and that's really fun. I feel like it will even help me feel the throttle blips a little better when I'm in the goggles.

[@ChrisM-yr5tt]

Great video and tutorial. Have had quads for quite a while subd a long time ago. This series is one of the best that I have seen. Wished I would have watched this before I destroyed my walkera rodeo in a year. Keep up the good work. Thinking about the king kong 90 gt. The best part of this video is showing the sticks and your comments about it.

[@Saifbak16]

Really helpful tutorial. Thank you soo much. God bless you

[@crf45089]

I built my first drone which is a alienR5 and all the gear to fly FPV About a month ago and I wanted to learn Line of sight first but I couldn't find any decent tutorial videos On how to Corner Properly As I already learned how to do flips And power loops from the rotor riot trick series. For some reason I found flying in Controlled circlesTo be much much More difficult than any flip or Power loop But after watching Your second tutorial video my flying changed dramatically. So I just want to say a big thanksTo the RCAddict For making these LOS tutorial videos. I think there is a lack of good Tutorial videosThat Explain how to Fly properly So Keep up the good work and I hope to see some more line of sight videos in the near future.

[@TheRCAddict]

That is so awesome man! Super glad to have helped :D

[@crf45089]

Just out of curiosity what did you learn to fly first LOS or FPV? And what was the most difficult thing for you to master?

[@TheRCAddict]

I flew toy quad LOS for a long time in self level. Probably throttle control FPV

[@bobert13581]

Helpful videos! It's taken me about 10 flying outings to get from squares to ovals to figure 8's. Not exactly smooth flying but I'm starting to get my head around it. LOS Acro is hard!

[@gavinvales8928]

But fun!

[@nickvledder]

But smoother than angle-mode or auto-level mode.

[@peteschannel508]

I have learned a lot and also wrecked a lot in full acro trying flips. Its very simple but also easy to mess up. Loving this shit!

[@victorsadauskas2121]

I've been looking for someone to open the holy grail of flying like you

[@harleymyers2834]

absolutely love your videos there really helpful

[@BigDFPV]

Thank you very much for these How to videos, I've been waiting forever for someone to make these kinds of videos. How can anybody give these a thumbs down? I don't get it!

[@TheRCAddict]

No problem :) When the ratio is 100 to 1 I just dismiss it ;)

[@Sully365]

i've found that there is a group of people in the world that just like to hate on things. if you don't have haters, you're not doing something right.

[@DJDevine]

These are perfect little demos. Thank you

[@stankersten532]

Got some building a drone for me I know that it is the best to build one for yourself but i don't have a good soldering iron or a steady hand these series will hepl me so much tanks man

[@seemikehack]

RCAddict: "Just beginner stuff" Also RCAddict: "So if you do something like this (intentionally fails hard then gracefully saves it at the last second) you'll have time to save it." Great videos, thank you for showing the importance of practicing basic skills like LOS! FPV is fun and sexy, and this is the foundation.

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

These tutorials are going to help me so much when I'm old enough to buy a kwad. Thanks man! :)

[@TheRCAddict]

Awesome, hope you get one soon :)

[@martijnkleiner605]

You can change it with Blheli

[@nikhasor]

You're not supposed to be on KZbin unattended ;)

[@Noah_7s]

So did you get one?

[@belldragneel8381]

Old enough yet?

[@Wildicon19]

This is a awesome tutorial for the Novice flyer like me. Thank you for your FPV wisdom Andy, and for keeping it real! LTRIP!™

[@milwaukeemechanic7425]

Thank you for sharing.......Have a great day of flying!

[@nhutlearnenglish1363]

Thanks for your LOS tutorial videos. Looking for part 4

[@danskifpv]

Loved that ending, and now I have to go learn that new combo. Thanks for taking the time to do this series, and can't wait for the next installment. I personally like to banked turn into a mini power loop.

[@TheRCAddict]

Haha, stop watching, I crashed.

[@Akaizer100]

My yard is the same way right now, every crash I end up having mud in a motor :/ summer and the end of scrag is upon us tho, absolutely amazing los tutorial I will be following patiently for part 3

[@TheRCAddict]

Mud SUCKS! Ruined so many bearings and overall motors from it.

[@Akaizer100]

Speaking of due you due anything to oil or clean motors after they get muddy? I literally wash mine under water, just avoid the esc and no power on (supposedly that wouldn't matter too much) but I am worried about rust etc

[@chrisporter3175]

Thanks for doing these dude! I finished building my first quad last week and these tutorials are extremely helpful🤘

[@albertgilding161]

great video. I am going to be starting with Los until I can get the for gear together. thanks

[@huckaberryfpv4986]

thanks soo much bro,I started acro as you posted your first video and looking forward to all!!!

[@TheRCAddict]

Awesome, good luck in your learning!

[@Sully365]

I i'm with Theibault...i love this series. keep it up

[@TheRCAddict]

I accidentally removed his comment, stupid tiny iPod screen :(

[@Sully365]

It happens, i didn't realize you'd removed it. I tried some LOS today and quickly realized that the colored LEDs are just not enough. i need new props :)

[@Fpv_Dad]

great ending, love those in place micro rolls

[@TheRCAddict]

Crash is great? Time to crash more lol ;)

[@TonySaccucci]

Thank you again! Looking forward to Part 3.

[@jeffvenable3845]

That was great actually. i can barely say hello while im flying...lol. You kept an entire train of thought while you did all that. Thank you for sharing it.

[@TheRCAddict]

Haha no problem :)

[@jeffvenable3845]

As i get a little more income...i will become a supporter. Just a little too tight these days.

[@TheRCAddict]

No worries man, no reason to give away what you have if you need it to buy stuff for your self :) I am not in dire need of money

[@jeffvenable3845]

The RCAddict i have 3 or 4 people i would like to support and you are near the top. i get a lot of REAL information from watching your videos... you always seem to show up listening to the same people i do or you seem to be friends with the other people i respect their ability. im an old guy that started with the cox .049...and radios with flags..lol. i have a 10 year old who keeps me thinking and acting half my age

[@alex0589]

This was a really nice thing to do, thanks. Im trying to understand how to fly a mini and this helps a bunch.

[@timhill2849]

thanks for the video. big help for sure. ill practice.

[@johnwedrall7149]

understandable instructions and nice flying man ! 🖒🖒😎

[@jameswil]

you make it look easy!!! so much practice and skillz!

[@FPV777]

Wow, wanna try this. Thanks a lot!!!

[@yen1761]

thank you.great video..simple to understand..good job..im waiting for next video.😀

[@reidbtable]

Hilarious ending. made me chuckle...your the best keep it up

[@TheRCAddict]

Sucks to clean mud though, still haven't cleaned them out. I need to get on it though to film part 3 this weekend though.

[@petermabbort456]

Nice one again. Number three please! Here the bing I struggle with... Trying to centre the movement without going to far the other way. I end up hovering from side to side etc

[@TheRCAddict]

Yeah, overcorrecting is hard to overcome. Maybe lower your rates a little if you are still struggling.

[@jad9544]

you do a good job showing how to use the controls here. I like your approach with showing how to control in acro. I've been building all winter and now ready to learn to fly better with LOS. Do you have a video on specs for the Beast X?

[@TheRCAddict]

Build video, links in description kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnukqmquett_gNU

[@StacemanFPV]

What is the "triggered" at 2:47 mean?

[@crimsonfancy]

I think when he got the timer / battery warning. Probably felt too soon.

[@michaelguest3624]

Its a slang word tilted and triggered mean the same thing almost. Getting filled with hate after seeing, hearing or experiencing something you can't stand.

[@TheRCAddict]

Yeah, Michael is right. Tilted, triggered, stuff like that mostly refers to when people lose their cool and go crazy. I see it mostly on extreme feminist memes haha

[@StacemanFPV]

I guess I don't get what it has to do with the video

[@TheRCAddict]

I say something about the quad when it is tilted (at an angle) , haha don't worry about it

[@natedogg8649]

Great video!

[@MrPaulielie]

Nice video, can't wait for Part 3

[@crimsonfancy]

Thanks for this second video. Practice, repeat

[@kuliahtransportasi]

best tutor for me, thanks man

[@MBorga]

Thank you very very very much. For me best video ever ever ... Can't wait to go out and pratice some things. Cannot wait to see Part 3. Perfect .Keep it up. 👍 Best regards Marc

[@TheRCAddict]

No problem :) Thanks for watching

[@md95tsi]

Very nice info Thank You Man Your sticks Bro are Awesome

[@furulevi]

If the quad starts turning in the air (more or less) when increasing throttle (shown at 6:07) than that means that the weights on the quad are not distributed/balanced correctly? Your quad stays perfectly leveled when you throw it in the air.

[@TheRCAddict]

Well, I don't think it does, but if it moves on high throttle punches that is the fault of the PID controller.

[@geoffpedder]

i learned i need to practice my LOS, good instruction

[@iknowlaa]

i will try next week to learn this...

[@adyfparish]

Nice one! Could be time to break out the fake Warp quad and try to get to grips with some of this. Looking forward to part 3

[@TheRCAddict]

Fake warp quad? I hope to build a LOS specific quad soon.

[@adyfparish]

Vigo GW250x from Japan. Great frame but Warp quad clone. running a dodo fc and Emax red bottoms. hobbyking.com/cn_cn/vego-gw250x-multi-rotor-frame-kit.html

[@zekeisme1]

great video

[@einsteind]

great looking forward to part 3

[@menacingyou]

ugh flying air mode LOS!!!! what a tricky thing... sooo much easier through the cam lol. I guess I need to learn it to become a better all around pilot. great video

[@TheRCAddict]

How is flying air mode any different? So many people think it is a flight mode like angle or acro, when it is just a setting that should be permanent.

[@menacingyou]

I have it set as just airmode on a switch so it basically is a mode

[@furulevi]

Did you used a switch at 4:37 to turn off the motors? Which one?

[@TheRCAddict]

Umm, I am flying at 4:37 the motors stayed on

[@nerdCopter]

theres tons of channels out there, but you are teaching us very well; keep it up and TY. you're obviously a natural.... love the hand catch @4:37 ... p.s. your patreon page is 404

[@TheRCAddict]

I deleted my Patreon a while ago.

[@neilreid9005]

So that's how it's done! Thank you!

[@parahoping]

Kickass! Thanks for the tutorial It's awesome!

[@DRONERC33]

really good video thanks for help people is getting into the hobby A+++

[@kubburdigital]

awesome tutorial man

[@jarrettmosco9624]

I actually love doing that mini power loop

[@TheRCAddict]

It certainly has a place, but for quick flips not so much ahah.

[@andrecpu]

Here we learn something :) Thanks !

[@TerminatorDuo]

Something that I would like to see in a video is what is the best step to do when you loose orientation and the quad is too far to see.. I guess you hit the angle stick and then try to hover up and down? But is it maybe possible to set the failsafe that the quad hovers in place?

[@TheRCAddict]

Well I run without the accelerometer off, so I don't have an angle switch, but I just tilt it in one direction and see if it is coming back to me haha, really difficult to tell though :/ Unless you have GPS nope

[@michaelolsen846]

Great video! I really enjoy all your videos. Perhaps you could mention something about the idle speed when doing flips? Cutting thrust without it makes a flip pretty difficult and I think you have it mapped to a switch when you did the catch/crash? Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work and posting videos, you have some mad flying skills!

[@TheRCAddict]

I meant the min throttle value as your "idle". This is when you cut your throttle to 0%. There is no switch involved. Punch throttle, cut throttle, flip over, and bring the throttle back up to recover.

[@michaelolsen846]

Sorry for not being clear in my question. So I am guessing that you have some minimum rpms even when you cut throttle to 0%? If so, how do they stop when you catch your drone around 4:37? Arm-switch?

[@reisfpv638]

Hey if you're not crashing you're not flying

[@SWhite-hp5xq]

In my case it’s - I’m crashing so I’m not flying 😂

[@pandagmail3505]

I’m a dead pilot and I can confirm this 🤣

[@neilfpv]

I have another question specifically on 1:16. I mentioned in my earlier question to you that I use Jumper T16. With rc, I cannot leave the controller like what you did in T:!6. It will drop to ground. I think something is really missing in my configuration on T16. What could it be?

[@TheRCAddict]

Do you mean your radio has a spring that pulls the throttle back down? I was at the perfect throttle position to hover which is why I could let go

[@neilfpv]

No. What I meant was that even if I tried my best to find the perfect throttle spot, it wouldn't stay. It will either go up or down. I just can't seem to achieve like how you were doing it. My hands are very stable. I'll try it again tonight since someone caught a bad settings in my Receiver section in BetaFlight. My yaw, roll and pitch were not set to 1500. I'll fix it today.

[@sabonetaboy8362]

I learned a lot bro tnx!!!

[@mooosestang]

I think i do funnels when i'm flying fpv and don't even realize it. I am going to dedicate some time to learning to fly LOS acro. I'm fine until the quad is pointing towards me, them i'm screwed!

[@TheRCAddict]

Yep, nose in flying is certainly tricky.

[@푸른하늘-b2q]

Hello, I enjoy watching KZbin that I want to learn from drones. What kind of simulation should I do?

[@onclefly8450]

Hi, two great video. :)

[@55kolin55]

I am about 6 batteries into learning to fly acro los (I have about 10 batteries on stabilise mode) and I thought I would try flips... should have watched this video first as i was keeping the power on lol Luckily no damage!

[@jaybirdfpv5034]

When you putting part three up?

[@TheRCAddict]

Not sure, wasn't able to get it filmed this weekend. Hopefully I can squeeze it in after I get home from practice.

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff, i briefly tried acro in fpv and i didnt hate it (thanks DRL fpv sim), i am still worried bout reflexes when i get out of shape, and also camera tilt when i am trying to make a small change to my line, i notice a lot of pro's abandon a line and do something else instead of trying to make small line adjustments. in DRL even a 20degree camera angle is very difficult to make a small line adjustment, it seems to require either opposite yaw+normal roll, or normal yaw+opposite roll... i havent hit this problem yet in real life but i hope it is simpler than the sim, in the sim i end up need ing a pencil and piece of paper to figure out how to fly straight and level in a slightly different line than the one i'm on.....i really hate that feeling, its like the old joke '' you can't get there from here'... i have to practice in quite a busy area, dog walkers and kids going to the soccer pitches can appear from any angle and i need to be confident of my reflexes. ps. show some pics of the damage a 5inch beasty can do to a person,

[@TheRCAddict]

Yeah, smoothing things out only comes with time. Lowering your rates, or making them more exponential can help though.

[@alancarter8396]

Really enjoying this series, can't wit to try this on my x252, reckon it is up to it?

[@TheRCAddict]

Not going to be nearly as much power, but you could complete some maneuvers yes.

[@alancarter8396]

Cheers.

[@tamburavadak]

I have a nagging question. Should I enable Air Mode while practising these drills or keep it off?

[@astrobros21]

cant wait for part3 :)

[@TheRCAddict]

Will be a little bit before I get it out, but working on it for sure.

[@astrobros21]

no worries haha.. just excited for the trick series :) it really looks nice when doing the continous roll flips and up/inverted thrusts. but then all of this cannot be done without the basics of LoS. Thanks for the tips.:)

[@tokmolboto7405]

I just got mine but i watched some video that the lipo battery is very dangerous and now im scared to charge my lipo battery and i dont even keep the battery in our because they said even the battery is not charge still gonna explode like a baby dynamite so my brand new fpv racing drone just stock in our house never been tried for test flight and i dont even keep the brand new lipo battery in our house i just put outside.. should i have not to worry and does the lipo will explode even its low battery

[@TheRCAddict]

You need to respect the batteries, but in no way should you be that scared of them.

[@schumata3356]

Good one

[@fallingwithstylefpv4759]

Thanks for this!

[@camdix3250]

This is so, so amazing. Just subscribed. I have learned on toy drones. Could you please tell me what drone you are using here? Are there drones that fly in acro mode that are available as ready-to-fly (with drone, transmitter, batteries, charger, etc.)? Or does an acro drone have to be built from the ground up, purchasing all components separately? Thank you for any help you can offer. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Best wishes.

[@JswingleFPV]

what are you using for flight controller

[@TheRCAddict]

This was an X-Racer F303

[@caringcenter5375]

whtas your frame use?

[@TheCynabal]

How much Expo do you use?

[@TheRCAddict]

Built into my rates. RC rate of 1.1, Rate of .82 on pitch and roll and .70 on yaw

[@ramongarciano569]

can i do that with my syma quad ?

[@TheRCAddict]

You'll be flying in auto level but you can still practice orientation on a cheap quad yes .

[@easttnscott7629]

Do you have a recommendation for prop color combinations that help LOS? I see the colors used in this video. Is this a combo you use a lot or does color matter to you? Thanks

[@TheRCAddict]

Anything that you can see well, doesn't matter. Keeping it consistent on each build can help though.

[@easttnscott7629]

Thanks for info. You got me motivated to mix FPV and LOS. I was just doing FPV because easier for me but glad I am working on LOS. You tutorials are helping on LOS. Thanks again.

[@rentaroo]

Great video! New Sub.

[@doktordrone]

very useful for me, thank yo very much :)

[@mihkelreb]

awesome dude, just wondering, how do you soft mount your motors? (if u even soft mount them)

[@TheRCAddict]

I use these pirofliprc.com/1mm-Medium-density-motor-soft-mounting-pad-10-pcs_p_3852.html

[@Max_0578]

Nice video! Very helpful. Do you think i can practice this with my Emax Tinyhawk 2?

[@TheRCAddict]

For sure

[@Max_0578]

@@TheRCAddict Thanks!😊

[@itsmegideon6641]

My vtx is currently not working (waiting for some new antennas to come) so im watching up on this so i can still fly

[@Edgewalker728]

Do you use any of the betaflight "camera angle"????? Where it adds in roll when you yaw automatically?

[@TheRCAddict]

No, and I suggest not using it.

[@Edgewalker728]

The RCAddict why not? It makes it way easier to do turns and yaw spins and stuff.....

[@TheRCAddict]

It's a crutch, just like auto level.

[@MBorga]

Hi i want to buy a furious fortini Flightcontroller.Can i use my ppm receiver with my spektrum dx 6i? I just see a s bus. Best regards Marc

[@TheRCAddict]

No idea about that fc :/

oh ok thanks

[@davidlemon8817]

Why is the remote counting down?

[@ctstony]

man you are good!

[@mazut500]

do you have barometer in your quad ?

[@TheRCAddict]

no

[@reyesmorales100]

Awsome video. seems like you have really good control of your quad. so does having a better radio controller helps you maneuvering better? because I have a cheap $50 dls flysky

[@TheRCAddict]

Well, if you are running something slower like PPM VS SBUS it will yeah.

[@elliotdrives]

what camera is on your head?

[@TheRCAddict]

Sony DSC-WX220

[@minwards1983]

great vid bud. do you ever flip diagonally? right stick to one of the corners. they look pretty awesome. don't think I've seen you do one in any of your vids

[@TheRCAddict]

I do occasionally in FPV, but not really in LOS.
