Apparently, most Tiny Whoop pilots fly autolevel. This was news to me, but hey, when in Rome... so I fly my Betaflight Newbeedrone Acrobee in Angle mode.
If you use Betaflight angle mode, but your quad doesn't hover level when you center the sticks, I'm going to show you how to fix it. You need to calibrate and trim your accelerometer.
My interview with Jesse Perkins is here: • Jesse Perkins Intervie...

If you have a Betaflight-based Whoop, you MUST check out Project Mockingbird. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've been told by one pilot that it comes as close as possible to Betaflight matching an Inductrix-based Whoop's handling.

You have to save settings, both sticks down and out.

Yes, for sure it auto saves. I think this was a 3.2 change, but it could have been one release earlier.. I'd have to look.

Autosave to mine Tiny 6. Now i love it, tnx Joshua 👍 Its all thanks to you and your passion for the hobby. Winter here, snow and cold or rain and slush so indoors is the only option this time of year.

Another great vid Josh! Just what we needed to learn. My ten year old son and I have been flying our tiny since building it together from scratch a couple weeks back. (OK maybe I did most of the building..) We had become so bored with the simulator and the tiny is way more fun for learning! Plus the cats love it! Keep up the great work.

I used 4 identical mugs to calibrate with a battery on. I have used taller heavy cups with usb plugged in, but you have to deal with the cable's own weight affecting the balance.

Dayum Joshua, being new to fpv, but not new to drones, I got a TinyGo and thought I'd never be able to fly it properly because of the constant in-flight adjustments. I can't believe this method actually worked for that, even with the proprietary transmitter. Now I have a new love for the little guy. Just because of this you just got yourself a new Patreon. Thanks and keep up the awesome informative videos.

An oldie but a goodie. I didn't know about this but buying the BetaFPV LiteRadio 2SE ELRS version. It doesn't have trim buttons like every other radio I've ever had. That forced me to find this, which is really the "right" way to trim a quad. Futher the LiteRadio doesn't have model memories, which is fine because I have all my Whoops use the same settings... except for trim, which again this technique solves. Thank you!
@kumardeepam 2 жыл бұрын
Another great tutorial that helped me achieve exactly what I was looking for. My Protek35 would start tilting towards right and forward even before it took off and even in the angle mode. This helped me to calibrate and trim it so well that now when I start applying the throttle there is no initial drift even before the takeoff. And even after the takeoff the quad drifts very little.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! Yesterday on my first time ever flying a quad I panicked and the quad got stuck in a tree about 15-20 meters above ground. Of course I had disarmed it and now it couldn’t arm because it was stuck in 90degrees angle between some branches and the tree was to big to shake it down. LUCKILY my friend had seen this video and remembered your tip on how to recalibrate it with the stick command so it again could arm and with a bit of twisting and props chipping away it came down!! Lucky ending!! Many thanx from Sweden!

Good to see you making some video’s about tiny whoops. I have a couple of them (some original F36, E010 and some a combination of a E011 frame and motors, with Beecore fc’s an aio cams. Project mockingbird helped me a great deal setting it up. And the stick commands come in very handy 👍 I only fly acro when I have to lose some weight, since the quad is all over the place in acro mode, and I have to pick it up every 7 seconds or so😎

Thank you very much for the video. It totally explained what I was experiencing (drifting forward) because the quad was connected to the computer (micro-usb connection port on bottom of quad) which caused tilt during calibration. It is nice to know I can calibrate and trim without having to connect to computer alleviating what caused the drifting issue. Thank you again. G3D bless you!

That tip at the end is super useful deserves more visibility. Especially since it doesn’t really matter to the whoop market and most of the video was for them :) It’s great because you still have the safety of the small angle setting , but can get it out of trees or use it on a racing starting stand

Man you have been a key resource as i get into this hobby with my self built mini quad. I use a 3d printed frame thats held with zipties that obstruct the usb. It also drifts backwards when i hover. I manage to fly fine but was eventually going to tinker with the trim via the configurator. But that would mean constantly wasting zipties as i tweak, test, tweak, test. I had NO idea about the stick commands. This video just popped up in my reccomended feed and will save me from so much hassle. Thank you for making this and every video. My next quad is actually going to be based on your recent build and i will absolutely use each and every affiliate link.

I got the RTF Geprc Tiny Go and this is a "Go To" video! My lil guy in auto level would drift forward and a touch to the left. After using your video, it is damn near perfect, many thanks. I come from "collective pitch" helicopters. Not very good at it, crashed many times. Many tail-booms, skids, blades and such, I have become very good with repair and mechanical setup. Out of the 21 helicopters, more than half can hover like GPS and the rest do need a tiny inputs. All of which is done in agility mode or as it is referring to in the quad world "ACRO".... Calibration and trimming in the quad world is easy with the stick method. Consider me a fan, thanks again.

My mobula 7, on attempting to take off it just tilts to the left (using camera as front) I adjusted the trim but was interippted somewhat by three screws falling out of the rear left motor and the motor dropped out of the frame !!!! This certaily has been a learning experience. ;-)
