All about how to turn gracefully, or really sharply. It's not something you get straight away, but make some effort to practice and you'll soon be doing lovely sweeping turns without knowing how you are doing it !
As I said, this was all the flight footage I went out and specifically filmed for this - but should you think I've missed something out important that can help other, then please let me know what it is !
Happy flying :)

I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I have been flying for about 6 months but am just now figuring out acro. I am using a simulator for now to learn but eventually want to do the real thing. Coordinated turns has to be my hardest thing so far to learn. Your video has put it in terms I can understand and relate to. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Coordinated turns are tricky at first because you have to consciously think about what you are doing. It doesn't take long for your brain to kick in by itself though, and you just "do" without any thought. What surprised me about making these videos with the camera on the sticks was just how much stick input I am giving without ever thinking I am. Thumbs are on complete autopilot

Nice work, CurryKitten. Solid, clear, sensible explanation. I watched your stick movements in the video several times and applied it to my flying this afternoon and within twenty minutes I was fly much more fluidly and maintaining speed. Something else I noticed I was getting a slightly longer flight time out of my batteries than I usually could. Not much, maybe 3 extra minutes; but it proved how much power I was wasting in getting the copter back up to speed. Thanks, and cheers.

The one thing that not many people mention, which you emphasize, is “flying forward”. When I was first learning to fly and trying to do turns I was having a hard time. Then I ran across a video showing flying forward and learning to make turns by steering the quad with yaw. Bang, it clicked. Not many instructional videos explain that if you just fly forward and learn to steer with yaw and roll you are flying and can get better fast.

Very good explanation of coordinated turns. Informative. And yes, I understand you well when you say you need more yaw / less roll for slow speed turns and less yaw / more roll for high speed turns. It's all related to the angle of the quad in the air, right? For the last few years, Ive been flying in angle mode on cheap toy-grade quads with LOS. Ive never tried acro or FPV but I'm really keen to give both a go one day. I'm really looking forward to doing banked turns in particular as it reminds me of when I carve a turn in snowboarding - hopefully a similar sensation. Ive also flown an rc plane for a total of three times (with 0 crashes surprisingly) and I wonder if that experience would be helpful in learning acro. Though it was a Delta Ray set to beginner's mode so there were restrictions placed on the amount of roll I could apply.
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 6 жыл бұрын
Yes - on your understanding of the difference of roll/yaw depending on pitch. As for turns like carving - I do tend to find that on a quad it can feel slightly less flowy, as they tend to be very precise about where the turn stops and starts. With 2-bladed props things are a little looser, but not quite as loose as with a plane or a tricopter over a quad. But try it and see :)

Thanks for taking the time to explain things clearly, also good to see a fellow brit doing tutorials too! I have been acro training indoors with a micro quad and coordinated turns have been the thorn in my side until you explained the more pitch the more roll is required, as I'm going slow indoors it seems more yaw is needed, kept on spinning like a catherine wheel and baffling me. Would you consider a LOS series as well as FPV?
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 7 жыл бұрын
Micro's handle a bit differently and you'll find they need less roll unless you really throw them into like a 180 degree turn. Is you quad running betaflight - if so, check out part one about using acro, as I talk about how change the curves in order to give yourself manageable control to your stick input - and you can tune yaw on it's own I'm not really the one to give any LOS tutorials, I'm not a great LOS flyer, and so I'd pretty much choose FPV flying instead in almost any circumstance :)

Self leveling has its benefits also, for example this "Co-ordinated turns" is not needed there, so it is one of the disadvantages of Acro mode :) Acro is somewhat similar to an old car which has almost no electronics in it, where as self-leveling is partially like a more modern car filled with helpful goodies, power brakes, power steering, abs, traction control, etc...
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 6 жыл бұрын
Self levelling does just that, it doesn't do anything in your turns. So if you want to do nice fluid turns - or much sharper ones, then a co-ordinated turn is something you'd want to do in either mode. Haha, old car indeed. I would use the analogy that acro is like driving a sports car where you want to feel what goes on, self-levelling... that's like driving a prius

Just want to ask if your are familiar with eachine falcon 250 that is my first racing drone until now. But still I am having difficulties on how to control it smoothly. Do you have any recommendation for its settings like pitch and roll, PID settings etc? TIA. Have a great day
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 7 жыл бұрын
I've never flown the Falcon, but it shouldn't be too much different to anything else. Generally speaking, I've barely touched any PID settings in the later versions of betaflight - only the super-rates. So I would say first off, make sure you are at the latest firmware (3.17 - unless 3.2 has actually been released now) - if you ESCs support Oneshot, make sure you use it. Being up to date on Betaflight and making sure your ESCs are running the best code they can support will often sort out those little wobbles that you can struggle for ages to try and tune out with PIDs

Hi Paul - thanks for the suggestion. One thing I go over in the previous part (I think) is the camera angle and the effect that has on things - i.e it's very easy to tilt it too far back, go gloriously fast - but essentially be out of control and unable to land ! Rates - and specifically how to make things a bit more gentle - should be covered in part 1 about flying in acro. Did you check these out already - if you think something is still missing, please let me know and I'll do my bes to plug any gaps.

@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 7 жыл бұрын
I have a Video to-do list and there are a few things that will help with this. One is about the use of air mode... don't drop your throttle to zero without something like this enabled, the other is about beginning acrobatics. So yes - if you like the "right" way to roll in order to do it flat, is to have a quick stab of the throttle and then drop it to zero as roll over. That's quite a lot of think about if you haven't done anything like that before - and depending on the speed of your roll rate, certain aspects become less necessary. The main thing to do when starting is to get plenty of height, and not worry about the throttle too much - it's more important to get a feel for how long your roll will take and stopping at the right point.

@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 7 жыл бұрын
There's no hard and fast answer - maxing out your flight time depends on the type/speed/size of motor and props. You want to be hovering at 50% throttle, and be able to fly forward quite happily without using much more. Less pitch, and less blades on the props less amps, but don't give as much lift. Basically you need to experiment. See what you can do to get more flight time out of your normal lipo before you try a larger one

I am learning to fly on a 150 quad. Whenever I make a turn, the view always seems to tilt horizontally so much to the direction of the turn. Is this normal, and how would you be able to get a more flat turn?
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 7 жыл бұрын
You can make a "flat" turn if all you do is yaw... although as explained depending how much forward tilt you have at the time will determine how flat this actually is. This sort of turn also won't allow you to "bite" in to the turn, you you'll turn but drift onwards. so having the horizontal moving like that is part of making a co-ordinated turn... it's ok.

Hi, I'm beginner, when I make a coordinated turn, I've to make at same time the yaw and the roll, but I have to make at the same time the pitch back, too? For not to increase speed at the exit of the turn? Thanks. I follow you, I like your tutorials
@CurryKitten
@CurryKitten 6 жыл бұрын
Well, this is one of those "it depends" answers. Depending on your pitch and the speed you want to go into the turn and exit at, you might need to put in lots of small adjustments... which you will just come to do without thinking about it. I just had to rewatch the camera with my stick movements on to see what I'm actually doing, as I'm not consciously making any pitch changes, but I can see me making small adjustments both to pitch forward and back slightly. My advice would be to make some huge turns, like you are doing a big loop, as a coordinated turn - but try and keep that turn perfect. So you speed, altitude, pitch and roll angle all as still as you can - but to do this you'll have to make lots of very small movements just to keep things going perfectly. At first you'll be thinking about what stick movements to make in order to keep it there, but this soon turns into a subconcious action.

Are you asking if the way you turn is different in stablized mode (line angle/horizon) vs Acro? The answer is yes and no. Whilst the combination of stick movement are the same, you'd need to hold the sticks in position in stab mode as the quad will want to return to flat if you let it go. In Acro, you will just need to put in smaller corrections after your initial turn. Try and fly in Acro if you can for much smoother manouvers

Yep - initially get some height just to make sure you can do a coordinated turn. Once you are happy that you are getting it and aren't going to fall out of the sky (should take no longer than a few minutes) is when you can bring it down to see if you can hold the same altitude all the way through the turn. You don't need to do it low - you just need a good fixed reference point - use the tops of some trees if you want to stay higher

Combining Roll/Yaw is the important aspect to pick up for the coordinated turns - there's always some corrections going into pitch and throttle, but that's going to depend a lot on what view you want as well as your speed going in/out of the turn and your camera tilt angle.

Sounds like your most likely straightening out before you are actually travelling in the direction you want. Remember it's very easy to point your quad in any direction, but it doesn't mean you are travelling in the direction you are facing. So you need to stay in your bank a little longer - you might end up over correcting at first and turning a little too far, but you'll soon get a feel for when you quad is flying in the direction you want and isn't going to drift

Do you mean you complete the turn but you are facing one way but sort of flying in a diagonal? It sounds like you could be pointing you quad in the direction you want, but you have't flown through the the turn long enough, so the inertia is still carrying you partly in the original direction. Try doing some longer sweeping turns and don't be in a rush to straighten out right away until you are all the way around. It'll give you more of a feel for when you've done enough turning to be able to put that feeling into tighter turns

Could you explain what expo is and how it works? A lot of the 'pros' use it (or don't) and I'd like to know how it works. Thanks :)

One noob to another - expo puts a curve on your input (whether it's throttle, yaw, pitch or roll) making it less senssitive in the centre and more sensetive at the far extremes. The idea is that for normal flying you have accurate control on small inputs, but when you push the stick to the maximimum deflection you get crazy fast spin/roll speeds for acrobatic maneuvers. Hope this helps :)

stubee FPV oke cheers. A bit of Roll Expo for fast snappy rolls when the stick is fully stretched

Yes - absolutely right. Sorry, didn't answer the question, as I thought it was a suggestion for a future vid :) Worth mentioning though that as far as flying quads on Clean/Betaflight if you radio can do it's own rates and expo, then you can pretty much ignore it and just let the flight controller handle this

CurryKitten cheers, it was originally a video idea, it would be clearer to see it all in action. Many thanks ~Jonah

Great tutorial, I like the way you explain, easy to follow and everything makes sense. One thing though, I'm sorry but I find the voice from your TX a bit annoying.

Being my daughter's voice - I guess it should only be something that I'd want really... makes me take notice more than the normal robot voice :)

What simulator would you recommend.

It's been a while since I compared - and running on a Mac doesn't give the best experience on many of them. I actually seem to be one of the few people who had the best experience with LiftOff. I'd always suggest trying to get out and fly for real over a sim though, the lack of risk means that the amazing moves you can pull off in a sim doesn't necessary carry though to real life.

Yay - go me (and you !) If the 5 people that disliked it want to tell me why, then I could maybe address something in another video... but alas, they remain anonymous

Great video but i think this skill should be learnt with line of sight as you say its a feeling kind of more than a skill at first

I think it depends on the individual. For me, LOS and FPV are two quite different skill sets and being proficient in one doesn't always carry through to the other. I can also have what looks like a smooth LOS flight, but when I look at the DVR footage it's anything but, so it's why I always so FPV FPV FPV :) Whatever get's it into your muscle memory though
