 All right, so today on FPV Coach, I'm going to learn to do a dive gate. He's going to learn to do a dive gate. Probably first, second try. It's going to be a short episode. It's going to... I'm going to nail this. Yeah, it's a piece of cake. To start out doing the dive gates, I always just kind of like came into it flat just to kind of get the feel for going through it and that way at least you can do it in a race if you have to. So in this, how are we going to measure my progress? Just getting through it or are we going to time something? Well, I think we should start out by seeing if you can do it first, even if you just go flat through it, but then progress up to a split S to where it looks cool because that's going to help you in freestyle. Well, it doesn't matter if I look cool doing it. It just matters if I get better time, right? If you're focused on racing, but if you're focused on freestyle, this can help you in freestyle because the point of this isn't just to help you in racing, but to help you be a better pilot to begin with. Right. And these obstacles can help you in a real world application and freestyling. It helps me a lot. The dive is the coolest thing you can do, like starting all the way back from F3 Expo when Schizo was doing it. That was like the first time I ever saw anybody like dive down the middle of something. So obviously you've been practicing your split S every day since the last episode, right? Obviously. So this will be a breeze because if you hadn't been practicing that, you're going to really struggle with this. Cause it's a split S maneuver. This is going to be easy. Jeff, Jeff, I have to admit something. I have to tell you. I haven't been practicing every day. Well, we're going to, we're going to practice some more today. Do you want to fly it first? Just so you know what I, what you're coaching me through. Sure. Let me try it. Yeah. It's fairly easy. If you're good at split S's, it seems like you're going to do it onto the right. Yeah. Oh boy. Yeah. You need some practice. So I don't know if you can see what I'm doing. I guess his, what he was doing is probably smart. Just cruise up to it and then just drop down into it. Okay. And then what you really don't want to do is do this. That's going to make it really hard. Well, yeah. Cause you're so high. Well, you still did it. You made it look easy. So like for the first couple, I would go as slow as you can and just go right over the lip and then just kind of turn around. Wait, wait. Not for the first, for first when you just wanted to drop through, right? Yeah. Okay. The first one is going to fall into it like that. I got FPV going here. I think I can do that. But that's going to, or actually, if we're talking technically, like it was in a race, you need to be coming out the same way you came in. Well, no, cause I'm, it's an L. So I got to come in, go like from this. Okay. Well, then what I would do is just turn before you get there like this. And then just drop into it. Okay. I think so. It looked way too easy. I just feel like I'm going to nail it. We're going to be done. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you. FPV dive gaze round one. You just want me to creep up to it, drop down. Yep. Yeah. Point the nose down. Oh, there you go. Well, I didn't point the nose down. That's fine. You went through it. We already have one successful dive. Okay. We're done. This one, try to point your nose down a little bit to get that feeling of going down through it. There you go. Like that? Yeah, great. If you can do that, the L should be pretty easy because all you're going to do is turn a little bit in the middle. Okay. But I like the creeping. I like getting used to it. Yeah. There you go. Boom. I've also have the Lydrib motors on this one. So that's going to help. They have a lot of power. It's going to give you style points. Okay. So what am I doing now? You might as well just try the L, go out around that flag out there. Okay. And then you're going to do a slight right hand turn just as you point your nose down. So you have to get to the other flag for that. Or you can do it like that. Oh, okay. Hold on. Okay. Let me just come back here. You're still approaching the same, but just right as you're dropping down to start turning to the right. There you go. It's a little too far. No big deal. The movement was genuinely good. I just got too shallow. Think of it as you're just going to drop straight into it. Yeah. Don't do the turn ahead of time. Okay. So you, oh, I got you. So as you're about to do it, then turn. So drop through, then turn. Yeah. Start turning. It just like froze up and didn't do anything. I did. You want to kind of go back to thinking that you're just dropping straight through. Okay. And just add a little turn. Just add a little turn. All right. So I'm just pretty much just adding a little yaw. Yeah. But my momentum is going to be going. Well, you're going to want to give it a little bit of a roll too on the right. So drop down. Okay. Yeah. That scares me just because I'm going to have to do a lot of a roll. Maybe, or maybe just go do a couple more dropping straight through it again. I'm fine if I'm going linear. So now to try to do that, but just turn. Then I turn. Turn. Okay. Close enough. Close enough. Maybe you're more comfortable turning to the left and the right. Yeah. That's it. That's it. There's a pole there. Don't freak out. It's just a pole. When I was like learning to do things through things, like flipping through a gap, I cheated it. I would like go through the gap and then do the flip. And then I pulled that flip closer and closer to the gap to the point where I'd flip before the gap and then go on through it. I mean, this is like long process. You'd go like way through it, then flip right through it, then flip, then flip wire in it, then flip before it. So I think it's like the same thing here. Like first just drop down. Yeah. Then drop down and turn. Well, then drop down and turn a little bit earlier. I like coming a little bit wide. And then I think that's what, if I'm going straight into it, it kills it for me. I think if I come a little bit wide and go down in, it feels a lot better for me. Maybe try that. Shoot more to the left hand side of it and turn first and then drop through. Okay. I'm going to go slow. Just get your right turn ready to go. You're a little too far, but hey, perfect. I got it. It works. It was sloppy, but I got it. That's fine. Because I guess you can basically turn it into where you're still going straight if you do that turn ahead of time. So you're going to approach it a little further right than you would if you were going to do it normally. And then right about here, you're going to start your turn and then just drop down. Okay. Oh, you could have said that one. You think? Yeah. My battery's dying. So let me try one more and then I'll come in. So drop her down, piece of cake. Don't worry about that pull. Not too bad. All right. A couple good dives. Such a simple move and I'm so nervous. Have you ever dealt with something? What are they doing? Drilling from water? Really? Oh boy. You're ruining my audio. Oh wait, I didn't. Yeah. I think we should move on to the real Split S dives now. Okay. It's going to be a little more challenging. All right. So what am I doing? Just go up to it nice and slow and then once you get just past the lip of it, just kind of turn around and fall right here. Perfect. Is that what you wanted? It was like the little trampoline. Okay. No, that was good. Just focus on the exit now. Nice. Okay. Too easy. I don't know if that was easy. I think it was half accidental. You're going to make it harder. Why? Because I popped up too high. The higher you go. The harder it's going to be. Okay. Because you're building up more speed. You're making, you're getting further away from the target. Nice and easy. Controlled. Got it. Nice. You know, I noticed pumping the throttle makes the difference. Yeah. I want you to try to start flipping over sooner. I want you to chuck it from way back here, flip upside down and coast into it. Because it's teaching you the skill. It's like upside down and yeah. It's teaching you the skill of being like falling, but yet controlling where you're going to fall. Yeah. To be able to do it this way, it's better for racing or freestyle. Because in racing, you'll be able to do it way faster. I wonder if I just pick up a little more speed. Almost. But you, you kind of want a little more downward arc though. It's going to be difficult. So I need to go higher. Yeah. Just a little bit. Don't think about going through the gate. Just go right next to it to gauge the distance. Like already I can tell you're going to go too fast. Then you could maybe also use your pitch and like pull back a little bit as you're doing it, because then you're translating more of your throttle to lift instead of going forward. But that's, it's kind of a subtle nuance thing. It's hard to tell you like how much to pull back right about now. Okay. Would that have worked? Yeah. But it's hard to explain what was, it's like you gave it enough blip there, but you didn't have enough momentum before the blip. That's why it's tricky is like slight difference will either make you go too far or not far enough. That one would have been pretty good. Okay. I'm just going to show you how to do a few from a little further away. There's a moment where you're kind of weightless just as you get flipped around and you give it a little bit of throttle deposit. Like from that position, you actually have quite a bit of control, but you need to get there a little quicker. Okay. Like you're kind of slowly rolling into it so that by the time you get into that position, you're already at the gate to where if you like kind of quickly flip over and give it just a little pop of throttle, you like pause and you're like not even moving anywhere. So I want to try to show me. Yeah. I want to try to get that. So it's like right here. Yeah. You're keeping like really drop straight. Okay. So one thing that I'm noticing is you're keeping the gate at the bottom of your screen. Yeah. I think that's the thing that I'm not paying attention to. Like the gate never leaves the middle of your screen to the bottom. I'm looking more straight down at it too. Right. So I could probably do it from like ridiculously high. Nice. It's all about the control of falling straight down. But I want you to do it from about halfway from about right right about here. You see how you can like float forever once you get turned totally around. Okay. I see when you showed me what I was doing, the gate was higher in the frame. Right. Like you never let the gate pass the middle. So when you flip around, the gate is in the middle or the bottom of your frame. And I think if I concentrate on that. Yeah. Cause the kind of goal is like pretend you're going through a normal gate, you set it up in front of you and you go through it. Right. Well, this is the same thing except it's down. So you like in your view make it the same as if you're just going to go straight through it, but you're just going downward. Okay. I think I got it. I'm going to try that. This is going to be the one I can feel it. Oh my God. Cause it always is when people say that. Exactly. You know what to do. That's it. Come in. Come in. Okay. You get on the throttle too soon sometimes. I do. You just want to go really low throttle and let it fall. You're going towards it, pull up way too far. Okay. So what do I need to do that? You need to flip sooner. Yeah. And also like pull up a little bit so you're not translating all that throttle. That was a nice one. Yeah. That was a nice one. That was really aggressive. Yeah. That was good. Now I'm just going to freestyle. All right. Thanks man. No problem. High five. This is how we do it on coach FPV coach nowadays. We do a lot of high fives. So that one was harder than I expected. It's not an easy thing. And it's just like the other one. If you practice it a bunch, you'll be able to do it every time. I think if now that you've given me some basic pointers, I think if I just, I like to practice by myself after getting good habits. I think I'll do fine after, you know, more practice. I definitely learned a lot. So thank you. No problem. Like most things, you don't master it in one day. Definitely. And sometimes when you sleep on it, that lets it like soak in and you can like take a break and come back and actually be better. Well, and I want to thank Sean Morrison for helping set things up, bring out the gates. He made it all possible. Yeah. Thank you, Sean. Also, he had the suggestion of putting the stuff in Velocidrone and also talked the lift off. So we're going to have the same pieces as I practice them. Oh, cool. We'll put them in the simulators and people can try them out. Thanks for watching and we'll talk to you. What do you let my camera guys laughing at me? No, put in the comments, the stuff that you want to see. That was a little aggressive.
