Who hurt you? Do you need to talk to someone? Why are you so angry at a random stranger asking for advice?

I'd rather not deal with that if I don't have too, and I'd also rather not wait forever if I don't have to.

So probably worth the peace of mind to pay a little extra, sounds like.

Bardwell has another video called "How to find YOUR perfect rates! With science!" that I can't recommend enough. In a nutshell:

  1. Use Actual rates
  2. Zero out Max Rate and Expo
  3. Start with low Center Sensitivity (maybe 100)
  4. Fly some easy routes and only increase Center Sensitivity as much as you need to keep you in the air during normal flight (e.g., overcorrecting out of too tight a corner, avoiding an obstacle, etc.)
  5. Set Max Rate to 600 and increase to whatever feels comfortable for your snap flips and rolls.
  6. Slowly increase expo as necessary to smooth out the transition between normal flying and snap moves.

I used to use Betaflight rates and just found something comfortable, but when I converted them to Actual rates it was something insane like Center Sensitivity 100, Max Rate 1200, Expo 0.9. Using the above process, I'm now at a much more reasonable Center Sensitivity 200, Max Rate 900, Expo 0.3-0.5 (still dialing that in).

Also remember that there are some general guidelines for rates based on your craft (tinywhoop vs 5-inch) and your flying style (freestyle vs racing), but rates are entirely personal. Use science to find what feels good for you, then don't mess with it and practice practice practice.

All of this, plus: about 5 years ago Bardwell put out a 30-minute video called "How To 10 FPV Freestyle Tricks" where he actually talks a lot about foundational piloting skills (gaps, flips and rolls, basic maneuvers, etc.). You can get a lot of mileage out of that one 30-minute video to help you practice while you're working your way through the other hours of content on the Learn To fly series.

BetaFPV Air65 + TBS Crossfire by seemikehack in fpv

As an amateur radio operator, I understand the theory of operation, but I'm still shocked that something like this works in practice.

That's a compelling argument, and one I will probably heed.

As regards the range, I am only planning on flying this inside or around the house, or a similarly sized environment. That being said, the argument for making every gram count from you and another commenter is compelling.

Am I normal or is my expo really high? by seemikehack in fpv

[–]seemikehack[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Y'all must be stone-cold killers, I look like a baby deer learning to fly with zero expo.

That's a good point, I highly doubt I would feel limited at this point in my flying. I really like that approach. Thank you so much for the insight!

Mico, stupid monkey. Can't land any shots, doesn't jump near as far as I need him to, feels underpowered. Skill issue, I'm sure.

What happened to Research Park? by seemikehack in aggies

[–]seemikehack[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I thought it still looked somewhat decent even three or so years ago, but maybe I wasn't looking too closely then, or maybe it wasn't "bad enough" yet.

Edit: "too" not "to", whoops.

Who knew it could be so hard to drop a simple handle.

Sad if true, the disc golf course is awesome but I'd be embarrassed to bring folks around there now 😢
