 There you go. No, you know you you I started last time you started this all right Hi, and welcome to road a riot Chad and I'm drew. Hey guys today Chad is gonna. I'm gonna be cappuccino today. That means I'm gonna fly yeah, and I'm gonna be Vulnerable and learn in front of all of you guys Not that I don't know how to fly. I don't laugh guys Don't don't laugh if you can't fly very well just we've all been there I can fly I just I have to do a challenge. So sander sassy FPV Yes, he has challenged me Chad pay attention because this one is for you You need to be able to complete three consecutive laps as shown in the video below if you don't Complete that challenge more of these We'll be showing up at your doorstep. So so Jeff order vortex is going to be my coach Yeah, so I'm excited for that because Jeff is very patient What I was just stating a fact I'm so paid Okay, so this is the actual challenge you fly towards the first flag you do a full rotation So it's like you were the first gate make a split us over it Through it to a hard 180 through the second gate Then fly around that second slide and back towards the first like it's not too hard But here's what I'm gonna do I want to practice each And then string them to get specifically what I would instruct you to do is identify all the little chunks that need to be put Together and work on each one individually. We're gonna use the CL one that we built I selected all the components with Barred well in van over. I've only test flown it like down and back. That was it. We almost have the track assembled Let's get your quad ready Orbits need help here walk me through my orbit Let's see what you got a little more on the right stick to the left. Oh You're almost doing it like backwards. Yeah, your right stick's gonna be more left like a left roll It's just yeah, it's both sticks left, but you just got to figure out the right mixture of both I see I was always doing it the other way That's there you go And once you find the right mix you can just stay still a little more there We're more try to keep the flag right and getting it to keep the flag dead center the whole time So it's it's forward left left Yeah, trying to think of how to explain to you how to not you're like losing momentum Yeah, you want to keep an arc going you like don't fly straight fly always hurt there It is that's it. Yeah, and that's the thing too is Dipping your nose down to keep your momentum going especially when you go past the flag and you want to come back Yeah, you want to almost dip your nose down more than you think yeah, and get on the throttle That's a good one now. You're locked in there. We go now. You're locked in that's beautiful got it Okay, it's gonna be too easy capper My split S was messy and it depends like ideally for this you wouldn't really do a split S You would just do like a 180 turn if he wants it to be a split S practice it by going up a little higher Flying across and do a half a roll to where you're perfectly upside down You're kind of like you're yawing into it a split S is just half a roll and then pull back There's no thing nothing going on with the yaw at all just perfectly upside down and then sweep out so I'm going in I'm turning into it instead of flipping upside down You're almost looking this way. Yeah, really you should just flip over and then come out of that one. Okay. That makes sense Okay, all right. That's what I'm saying go even a little higher Go even a little higher. I feel like 50 feet up in the air now try to don't let off the throttles so soon either Okay, stay on the throttle until you get upside down And give it a little extra as you're flipping Boom, that's better. I almost feel like I need to mix it more You need to mix it less see like there's no reason no yaw at all just strictly left step well until I corrected it Yeah, go. I'm telling you go twice as high to practice Go way high and practice like just need some reference. Let yourself float there. That's a split S Let yourself hang upside down for a second to get the feel for that. I'm just forgetting to Throttle because I'm so much on That's it. That's it. There we go So keep doing that for a bit But your next step is gonna be to not lose your momentum when you get to the bottom see how you're like barely moving Right before I go into it. Yep Flip that's it there. I got it now when you're when you're exiting it Slowly pull back instead of doing it all at once kind of slowly and then you can keep your speed going Yeah, okay, it's them the right proportions. Yeah, see and the problem is you're not committing to getting yet upside down That's why it's like it's good to keep working on that get that. Oh, that was good. Okay. That's you're right So I was not committing to get all the way upside down like that. Okay. It's scary to be upside down You're like I'm upside down. I'm headed towards the ground. So you're you're panicking and quickly pulling back So I think a lot of it is I'm feeling like when I do exactly what you say I can feel that I'm doing it right. Yeah, it's just getting my thumbs to do it repetition That's why I was saying you're almost still kind of like rushing forward You're like, okay, I did one good one. So I'm ready But yeah, really and that's why I was saying it's good to do the half a roll and then finish the roll because it's really what I think what it is you want to be able to pop into that position and Have utmost confidence in that because if you're not comfortable there The following steps are gonna be awkward because you just barely got the first part The reason why people don't progress is because they don't want to take the time to It's not fun to get better because getting better is not just ripping around It's like being diligent and practicing this one little thing over and over and over. I do it I'd probably practice Rubik's cubes for like eight months before I ever put one in a video Because the goal is always this snap right back to where you got, you know And so same thing with your with your split s if you're not perfectly upside down It just you're not coming out. I can see what I'm doing wrong now And it's weird because at home when I was doing the stuff. I kept practicing it wrong Yeah, and now like I'm trying to break Of that habit like I showed you when you're upside down. You're not really flat upside down Right, you're kind of tilted down So as soon as you're upside down, you're really not that far off from where you need to be to fly straight You're really like this. Yeah, and you're going And now you're not going anywhere Yeah, once you flip upside down you could almost just throttle it and just barely just a little bit I need to it is scary because if you don't pull enough slammo right into the ground, but Just slowly come back and at the very end of it You should still be here because you you want to be going forward the goal isn't to get to here the goals to get to there right There's a perfect one. The only thing you did was you still got back too much Yeah, and you didn't feed in the throttle on your way down And then I try to think in your head that as you're coming out you also want to be going forward It's it's not all about saving it from hitting the ground, but keeping going that was a little better. Yeah Crap. I'm not rotating far enough I wonder if I need to up my rate Maybe I mean are you touching the end of the stick? No Because you probably should be it should be to the point where you just exactly. Yeah, see I was as soon as you tap it That's it. That's that's where I set my rates where if I tap the end that's a half a roll I swear the wind's picking. Oh, I just need to relax. Hold on. Let me let me take a breath Can I follow? Let me see that one and you can watch me fly. Yes, that would be good. It may help It does feel a little weird though. Whoa. Yeah, something's off. You see that it's like going to the side. Yeah Like your trims are off or what is that? Has it been doing that to you the whole time? I don't think maybe it has You know what? I thought it was the wind. Maybe that's what it was doing Yeah, this is like not This is not right because yeah, no wonder you're struggling if that's if that's how you wait try It's like terrible. We need to hook it up to the laptop. All right. Now. They're all at zero Yep, 000 throttle negative 100. So maybe that's what it was. All right. Should have looked at that first, huh? Yeah Is that better? Yeah, that's much better. Now it stays in a straight line. I thought it was the wind Just kind of watch how I do it. Yeah, maybe that'll help you. Yeah, so I would go way past So first you fix the radio So the other thing is like using your pitch to change your speed So instead of like throttling that's going to make you go up, but if you do that Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, so especially like when you're doing this like I need to get over there just Just do that. Yeah. And so for these I'm just like slowly pulling out and feeding in throttle Yeah, it's happening really slowly. This is quick, but then this is slow I just can't stand the thought of people watching this No, it's good because there's a lot of people out there that are the same way Yes, I know there's a lot of people out there that are gonna love to rip this up That's fine. Whatever you're if they hate them let them hate and watch some money pile up. That's a 50 cent song You know because I was struggling with the split-up. So that was the hardest part Jeff was saying go way past it and give yourself plenty of height and then come back and But the problem was in my head was I was like that's way too loose That's like I need to try to get as close to the original as possible But you don't so I know but in my mind I kept that was my struggle Yeah, like I could do it big and loose, but if it just in my mind I was like no it used to be that's really interesting and I kept struggling with that. I think that's just something that It might be worth really like forcing yourself to embody is knowing that when you're learning a move You can you can blow that move way out and just slowly tighten it up and tighten up my first power loops a little gap Okay, here we go. I looped it. That's what mine looked like and then eventually you only go Halfway to the moon and quarter to the moon right and then before you know it you can just rip Right through really cleanly, but yeah, there's no shame in really blowing it way out I know but for whatever reason in my mind it kept struggling with that Yes, you shot the gapparoos skis. I'm so Proud of you. I am really excited. I'm not that excited, but I'm really excited It was really a rush like I I'm serious flying's fun It's weird because I thought I knew what to expect I've been doing You know these youtube videos and working and and I've trained people in the past in rc and building and all of that It's really weird being on the other side of it And I think I've not even allowed myself to go there mentally right so It definitely was a great experience and I'm glad that I did it. Thank you sander Thank you all of you guys what you did today. You had a course set up Ran around the course you did some preset tricks and maneuvers and things like that And that's a really great way to kind of learn these maneuvers my favorite part of flying So getting out in an environment Just kind of going with it. I like that too. That's typically what I do So I think we should do that today you should go out to some trees And you should just not worry about doing Specific things and just enjoy flying a little bit. I think I would enjoy that. Let's do that I really feel it now well before it was always rc hot but now it's it's like I'm actually experiencing What I've been documenting
