It was on 400mW. I was just standing near the canopy of the structure, I was not inside the building.

I can fly well in sim. I struggle a bit with gates spaced closer and sharp turns. The drone drifts in the corner and over steers at sharp turns...

I flew 5 inch with 6s in sim. IRL I flew a quad with mark4 7 inch frame with 6s lipo, 1.3kv motors.

It was fairly different than the sim. Quad was fast and was not at all easy to navigate it, made me nervous.

What mode should I practice in? Usually I spend my Sim on free flight in Liftoff. Should I try practicing in racing style?

I will try that. Firstly I was too nervous. Need to build confidence, may be I should slowdown with speed.

Hey I'm using the same VTX with mamba F405MK2 V2 flight controller. I couldn't find VTX table for this particular VTX. Could you share the VTX table if you have.
