You're completely right in all essence there is no real need for this video. But happy you shared I started flying acro from day 1 it's just like learning how to go from 3-4 channel radio. Try on a sim once or twice get the sticks down and then just practice. I think a lot of people are afraid of crashing or going too fast. start slow and small exactly how you showed in this video. You'll get comfortable and start moving up at your own pace.

That's a LOT better than just trying to hover for 20 batteries like most tutorials tell you to do. Obviously you will learn better control by bringing it to a stop and changing direction, etc. Thanks for this tutorial.

Since watching your 2 vids i went out and flew better los than ever. Pretty much watched them and was better. I won't even use yaw before to not change orientation . Im new and this helped alot. Thank you.

Gotta say, for info I go to Bardwell, for engineering I go to kabab, for flight I go to you. Almost 2 months in and my 30+ surface vehicles sit. Thanks for the tutorials.

i have to admit, this is 1 of my favourite video to watch when i started learning acro. its been 1 week now and cant believe how much this simple but almost detail video teach me. Thank you Bro.

Well I’m glad you made this video because people like me just getting into racing quads don’t know all about angle mode or any of the other modes in beta flight and I sure don’t so please keep making these teaching videos like this cause there will always be a need for teaching tools like this one. I wish someone will make a video for setting up angle mode on beta flight and then take it outside and then show us what the quad does in angle mode and in acro mode etc, because there is people that needs to learn and we can only do that by being taught by people like you and everyone that does fly now at one time they didn’t know how or what at all. Thank you very much sir.

You helped me a lot. As an intermediate pilot, your reconfirmed a lot of what I already knew. But as far as having to manually readjust to your previous stick input clicked inside my head and I have a Breyer understanding of acro mode. I’m about to step up to a racer and this was a big help.

Great video! I have been trying to talk myself into taking the training wheels off my quads and to start flying in manual mode. I'm going to watch your videos....maybe several times....and then jump in...thank you!

Best description of this that I’ve found. Would have been nice to have had this video back in the mid 80s when I first started flying fixed wing gas models. It would have saved me some money. Great job!!!

Nicely done, simple and informative. Been flying toys for a year and a bit now I'm waiting on an RTF Wizard not the best but enough I think... I'll be watching and learning. You have some talent my friend!

Thanks for giving some lights about acro mode. I want to start using acro mode, but had no clue about what to expect, but now i understand a little more and i think it will be more easy for me. Keep making videos like this, because i think there's more people like me, that arrived to the hobbie and doesn't have anyone to learn from. So... keep the good work.

Practicing now. Enough angle mode. Man is acro a hard flight controller for muscle memory. Just another reason why anyone who flies can appreciate just how great you are. Excellent teacher also

Thanks Seth. Great information for some of us moving from micro to acro piloting.

Great series, thats what I wanted. You are my favorite youtuber. I love your videos, please keep up with your good work.

GREAT VIDEO, well explained. Been flying for a few yrs right below acro- you def highlighted all my fears of switching to your level of flying! keepitup! YO!

this is really really really helpful compared to other videos on this subject.thank you so much for clarity to understand angle/acro and horizon....

Excellent and right on time. Thanks a bunch and even answered a few questions I had last night. I have several cheapies that I feel confident with but absolutely need to get more hours in acro. The necessary practice is daunting (especially for someone like me who lives on instant gratification) but only way to get better. Can't give up.

A very good tutorial- the first I've seen on this and much appreciated. Very clear explanations and then demo flying with narrative. I have a Mavic Pro and am seriously considering getting a quad- your vid is very demonstrative in the differences in flying the two platforms. Thanks!

I bought four different 20$ to $40 quads that did flips, 2 speed etc. and flew them in my house for about 6 months. Totally crashed and beat the crap out of them at first but I got the idea. I just got back from throwing $200 up in the air for the first time. MAN! What a blast!! Crashed it 3 times but at least I knew to kill it instead of freezing up. What I can say is, the tall soft grass saved my quad and all that practice paid off. Super Fun! and damn scary a few times haha.

Yepp, definitely have angle mode on a switch ready to go! Saved me from a crash yesterday. I'm just trying to learn pitch and roll control right now so when I couldn't recover from a barrel roll because a gust of wind made me lose orientation I just switched to angle mode and throttled up. I feel like angle mode is a must when learning acro as long as you don't depend on it too heavily.

Los acro tutorials is the thing that is missing from youtube man! There are a ton of tutorials learning acro in fpv but in los wich is the first thing someone has to learn and basic skill I can't find much. Good job man! Please upload more..

Thank you Andy for this tutorial, I currently have a toy drone for practice. Your descriptions are detailed, informative, and an asset for the novice flyer. These videos will be a staple to my flying diet, and it is wise to follow your suggestions. You also answered a lot of questions I had for flying a qwad, and how it behaves while in flight. Please keep up your amazing videos. LTRIP!™

Me after getting into the basics of FPV with my Whoop : "Lets try LOS" 'sees Video' "Abort Mission soldier"

I learned LOS with a syma x5. Played acro with the sim. Tons of research, videos.... 2 months later I built a qwad, bought goggles, have been flying acro. I'm hooked. I still enjoy LOS flying very much!!

No need to apologize bro im just starting out, i pick up the tinyhawk whoop and i learned alot from this video i had no idea how acro worked i was out of control and i watch this video a few times and now i can do everything you demonstrated in 2 days..thanks bro..

I really appreciate your builds and the way you teach thing. Keep it up👍👍👍

Excellent video really helpful, clear and well produced. Skills

Thanks a million! I’m brand new to Acro and that was a great demonstration!

I've flown level mode for about 2 years and advanced from cheap toy brushed quads to more advanced brushless, but always have been in awe of acro mode pilots. Especially race videos. I have RealFlight Drone sim and am starting to practice acro mode. Your video is a real help. Many thanks and keep the pointy end forward and the shiny side up!

Thanks for the vid. Just started flying my first build

You are the sickest los flyer i have seen! Keep it up

Thanks a lot. When I got good, this is what I was going to do. Great video though. Especially for the "Noobs" that don't have a group of friends to learn from like me. Big fat thumbs up!

Awesome job trying to explain it live! I'm going to try the technique. Acro has been my white elephant since I left the toy world.

I'm a noob so it's fine by me! I liked it! Congratulations! Keep it coming!

Ahhhhhhh I found it. I wish I knew you had these vids here to begin with!! Had to go waaaaayy back in the day to find these gems. Thanks man! Now I feel stupid and like I'm not a true fan for commenting and asking on several of your vids for tips on LOS flying.... whoops!

Thanks for the video! ive been learning in horizon and now im feeling mad at myself! gonna try acro tonight with my inductrix tonight!

So glad your doing LoS Acro tutorial I'm always super impressed with your LoS acro flying, looking forward to part 2 and more.

This is an excellent tutorial in every way. From a performance standard you spoke very clearly, had good pace, and were concise while still being very informative. As far as your teaching methodology, it is really fantastic. I have recently been learning acro with tiny whoops and small brushless quads, and this video would have made a huge difference in how fast I could have understood what was going on with them in flight in the 3 modes. I am subscribing and really looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks for the lesson and the thought you put into it!

Thanks for your effort in teaching this. I do know guys who fly a lot... but can’t fly LOS of any description. I find it rewarding to watch the quad zipping through the sky on its way to my next crash. 😝✨

The video that i have been waiting for! Thank you so much :D

There is a significant need for this video. Watch a brand new quad flyer fly in acro LOS. 5 second maximum flight time. Than they dont want to fly again. EXCELLENT video very detailed. Previous commentor said about a sim and thats a very good idea! And I would like to see a video about setting slow rates, if I have not missed it already. Best Acro LOS videos I have seen. I smash up my quad over two weeks flying in a warehouse for 10 batteries after work every evening. to get competent in acro. If you dont know orientation or are brand new use horizon till you like your flying. Then switch to acro and learn that you have to pull back below centre on pitch to turm without nose diving into the floor.

Great video. I always tell beginners with orientation issues to do this. Point the quad in the direction you want to go, press forward on the stick. Seems to help.

Awesome Los 😮I’m just about to learn acro very good video very helpful and clear thanks 🙏 I liked and subscribed

Thanks, out of all the videos I've watched, this one has helped me the most. Thanks for that!

I've been waiting this video so much! .... thanks mate awesome as always

Wow, once you started moving left and then right, I’m like, this guys good! But then you moved forward, and then backward and my mind was blown!!!

Been flying LOS for two years about to get my first fpv in 2 days! Going to rock

Fantastic Class friend.... congrats!!! Im having throbles to learn acro mode in my cinelog 35. Thanks so much.

100% awesome instructions man. You've made soo much sense thankyou, on behalf of everyone!!!

Really informative video, thanks. Been struggling with my trainer quad (H8 mini) but this video and the Flitetest vid has given me some great tips

Thank you so much for your time and effort in making these tutorials.

I know it's a matter of practice, but in FPV acro is totally natural to me. Time on a sim helped. But aircraft (real ones), are just rate mode. You roll into a bank at a rate determined by the stick pressure, neutralize when you're where you want, and then roll it back to straight and level (or where ever). Self leveling would horrify me. But the first thing a flight instructor shows a student is an airplane's natural stability. The absence of that in a quad, and the orientation difficulties blows my mind. "Soft ground" is a great tip. LOL I think this video does need to be made because it gives a nice methodical approach to channel your practice time. Which I need to bite the bullet and get experience. LOS YOU ARE A WIZARD. Your high performance quad videos are completely amazing. Flying a little spec. Great!

Thanks for video series. Los is harder than fpv i find. When in fpv, you're always in pilot view.

I'm a newbie to quads. I appreciate and learn from your step by step 1st video and looking forward to the following episodes. many thanks man ! 😎🖒🖒🌞

Love it! This is the ultimate frontier.

besides just los flying you do a amazing job of explaining how the controls on acro mode work, thanks

This is a great video! I just bought the tbs oblivion RTF combo. I still have a long way to go in learning to fly. It’s my first racing drone!

this is great! Looking forward to Part 2.

Thanks RC Addict, I bet that will be the hardest video for you to make considering its second nature to you now. Really looking forward to your next tutorials even if it's just a case of watching your stick cam and you shouting out your manoeuvres. Cheers!

Great video may be the best instructional vid on KZfaq 👍

Just subscribed, great video. I'm starting flying quads and I found LOS more difficult than FVP, but I feel more confortable trying new things like throttle control LOS. I thought that LOS was not important if my final goal is fvp, your video inspired me to keep trying and learning LOS. I have good control of my quad if it is in front of me, once I turn it is really really hard, but my brain is starting to get it. Thanks again for this tutorial. Keep it coming!

great very informative......will be good to see Part 2

I actually learned los from some your earlier los toy grade style quads, I moved to hobby grade los and now Ive got some Aomway commanders on the way. Amazing to see how fast you have grown! Keep up the good work bro.

Great. This video will help people learn to fly los acro. Keep them coming guy. Your good at it.

Very good explanation and demonstration. For all of you who want to learn acro mode,it's much better to start with a simulator first,for two main reasons really. 1. Even though the drone is a toy,it's extremely dangerous,the slightest disorientation can turn into a really bad situation,if you lose control,the drone can turn into a weapon.The props spinning at such a great speed can cause severe damage,I'm not going to go into details ,but you can imagine what it can do to your face or other parts of your body and of course it can be danger to others as well. 2. It could be very expensive to start the "real thing" right away.If you just go straight for the real drone,prepare for a very disappointing experience.If you keep crashing the drone,it will not take too many crashes before the need for reparation. I know that what I wrote "sounds" terrible,but it's the honest truth and it's for your own good as well as others'.

Great f@!kin video brother!!! Thank you for explaining these things to us beginner/intermediate pilots. Every other channel speaks in acronyms and uses words that noobs cannot comprehend. I had to look up all the words I heard them say. Vtx, Stack, Transmitter, ESC, Flight Controller etc. There needs to be more video like yours to help others get into this amazing hobby. If people cannot understand with some sort of ease, they will get bored or frustrated and move on to something else. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. More videos like this would help grow our hobby. Which is a good thing. Liked and subbed!!!!!

Even though ive now learnt most of these from your videos regardless, this is just another quick help for everyone getting into it! I found myself one day just waking up, able to fly LOS, im not sure what happened but the orientation just clicked. My mind stopped thinking about orientation and started thinking about stick commands, best day ever! Keep up the work my friend! Earned yourself another Patreon!

Awesome bro. Thanks. I'll keep up with your vids. Good. I'm new and this helped

Great Job! A lot of good information!

My LOS is improving drastically so i'm closing in on you 😜 your video's got me inspired to fly LOS keep them master class LOS coming thank you again

Thnx for making this video. Very helpful.

Gr8 video. Really helpful. Showed this to my cousin to teach him to fly acro. the square idea was really good practice even for me

Thank you man- very helpful and I need all the help I can get!

Great education Sir, love your style

I definetly recommand all fpv acro beginners to learn on a pc simulator with your usb radio like "FPV Freerider". really save you many crashes and YES you will learn and take it all in real life. just take it slow in real life after some hours in the simulator.

Excellent video! something every new pilot and old alike should give a few mins to watch!

Great video! LOS has always been hard. Especially as the distance increases. Hopefully I can watch and learn how to perform some of the great maneuvers you do.

Love your Taranis

This totally helped me. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This really helps and it is very detailed. Great job

Great video 👌. I have a Dromida Ominous,before I clicked on the video I wondered if it would be good for acro training lol. I'd love to see you use the Ominous in a training video to see what it can do in your hands. Looking forward to part 2. Thx Dod.

Nice video. Helps a lot. I'm new to quads from cars and boats and didn't realise that if you nudge the stick the position doesn't return when then the stock springs back. NOW I KNOW why when I hover it's been a constant battle. Thanks

great as always!

Thanks! Looking forward to trying some of this out.

You just helped me, a lot. Thank you.

great video. I have been flying in Horizon but i think I'm ready to step it up. Thx

Great series of videos.

So glad I found a LOS flyer better than warthox (quadmovr) and you actually speak! Your LOS is amazing even if you think your always rusty!

Thanks for the video. Can you share the adjustments for each flight modes? The adjustments in transmitters ( ranges) thanks.

Well, what can I say apart from the fact that this video hugely enhanced my understanding of the flight modes; Angle, Horizon and Acro. And, as a newbie, this video has help me as I have just received the Eachine QX 90 (Flysky) I'm now battling with and trying to master and understand PIDS along with my settings for setting the flight mode (3)switch setting in betaflight oh, and PIDS for the little beast. Love ya work chap - keep it up. (SUBSCRIBED)

nice vid rc keep up the good work

best video i've seen so far.Congrats

Thx I was looking for this

Thank you, that helped .I just uploaded my first LOS video.

jeez maaan, i want that quad sooo bad. its such a beauty. espcually when you had those wierd props on

thank you. I have been waiting on this.

You absolutely rip at los, your merica los video is my favorite los acro video. Keep it up.

you r doing a great job i am new and i get it ,practice practice thanks a lot

Very helpful for me. Thank you!

Hi, I'm just beginning my journey of line of sight quad flying. I've been flying FPV now for a few years and fancy another learning curve.......... Thanks for the info
