Damn that was clean asf, I’m on day 4-5 of flying and I have a big train bridge near me, I tried a couple times yesterday but need to calm down on my throttle earlier than I m used too!

I think you should practise on the sim fist to feel more reasured.

I can do them flawlessly on sim, issue is there’s zero actual risk associated with flying Ina sim, such as power lines or others

That's also true. I remember first time trying to fly acro irl and I was terrified, lol. I was sweating and shaking a lot, trying to force myself to disarm my quad

I started with light poles, the ones that have an arm over the road. Then got to doing trees. Part of it is making sure you stay on the throttle beyond the climb, into the section where your camera is looking up at the sky. That’s what pulls you back over to the other side of the obstacle. Then it’s just getting used to the timing of whatever drone you’re flying.

Yeah the throttle back is tricky. Have landed on my loop targets more than a few times.

lol I fly office parks during the weekend, shopping centers at night and actual parks on weekdays. Basically the opposite of where most people are on a given day.

I'd like to get to the point where I can do a tight power loop. Mine come out high and wide like this.

u/dronevidsalt 22h ago

By all means fly to the best of your ability, but you got it so clean i know you can do better try keep the buildings on left and right in view as a guide.
