Hey guys! Welcome to this video in my How to fly FPV quads series. In this video I'll be going over the basics of hovering, the science behind it, how you can improve your hovering and how you can practice it in the liftoff simulator.
Enjoy!

Haha i'll try! Might be a horrific crash lol. These days I found I'm a much better builder than I am a pilot. Please keep up the awesome work on your channel. The hobby needs more people like you.

Hi Jack, talk about perfect timing! I just finished my first build on a ZMR250, installing the FPV gear today EEEK. Iv only ever flown on Auto-level previously with the Phantom however found that it more or less flew itself with the GPS and auto level gear installed. I just got my 9xr Pro setup on my dual booted Mac and installed LiftOff and FPV Freestyle.

Yeah unfortunately you won't be able to practice some of the hovering techniques in this video on FPV Freerider since it's lacking some of the basic physics such as ground effect generated by the quad.

Hey Jack, thank you for the video! I'm using it as my main guide for fpv! I'm praticing on Liftoff the tutorial map, but i feel the drone very loose. It's difficult to keep in place (i only have 8h os pratice yet) but very few times and very few seconds that i succeed to align the poles Someone said to change the rate, and my question is: is this cheating? I mean, in real life it will make things difficult for me cause i made those changes in the sim? Thank you!
