Acro Tips in Sims

[venomoussvt]

I can get through the gates pretty decently at low rates, high, not so well. I tent to end up higher than is needed for the gates.

Interesting..lol. I suck at navigating gates, but have very little altitude issues.

I think it has to do with the stability of flight. In horizon mode, I can get through them pretty consistently because of the stability is given from the attempt to level off.

Oh.. yeah I'm not flying anything in self level.. I only fly in acro. That would prob explain it then. I'm not flying in stability again except of my DJI spark.

I haven't flown anything but acro since the beginning of this post. I'm getting it down pretty well, just fine tuning.

Once you have the flow of your kwad it's pretty easy, if course trying new tricks and what not still get nerve racking.

Done... Also did a raw clip on Instagram flying with the GoPro for the first time. Not a really great way to secure it so I was being a little cautious.
Travis Washam on Instagram: “Really gotta work on doing some editing and getting something put together that's nicer. But this is my first flight toting the new GoPro…”

I just went a 10 min session in low rate acro and though I was only going to win the DFL award it was a hel of a learning experience and I can easily say I'll not be returning to self level (until I fly my XC-30's).

Don't Do It!! You're only stepping backwards

Other than flying a camera drone I can't see any reason to fly in self level ever again.

At the rate it's been raining out here in Cincy, it may be too wet to fly until I get a new drone with the ability to fly acro. And Freerider has been helping

That sucks that I cannot hack the FC in the CX's

Getting better!

 

[Torc]

Getting better. I have been able to get a lap and a half in with most of the gates passed.

I have been doing stall drops through the tower, even saved a drop that I clipped the beam and pulled out before I hit.

That's something I'm about to spend a LOT of time on. Gates. I'm gonna be frustrated and not happy at all.. but I'm about to dedicate about 8 hours of "stick time" doing nothing but gates. I'll fly the easiest course I can get on liftoff over and over until I can make 3 laps at a moderate pace. I can creep *** through it now, bit I want to be able to FLY the course. after that, I'll move onto a different course and spend time doing that over and over again

Here are a few more of me goofing off and testing a program for recording.

Gates are a great way to get accurate at flying I know I can do the garage on FR at about 45-50 seconds a lap average, 25-30 seconds on the field with the two towers

Gate Practice

 

[venomoussvt]

Getting a little frustrated at charging lipos a pack at a time for an hour each so I had to break down and buy a 4 channel charger. Did tond of research on them and looked at every pro and cons for each and ended up with a protek prodigy 610. Used it last night to cell balance a couple big pack I had for my axial yeti and my 350qx2 and it worked really well.

I have a 4 port charger that came with my batteries and two individual plugs with my toy drones. So I can charge them all at once, just not in the same place. [emoji30]
