Air 2 Practicing again II

[A.O.]

Ok, more practice and I changed a few things (learning). I went in and adjusted the gimbal yaw speed and smoothness, flew this in "C" mode and also in FPV mode. Still working on things, but this seems a little better than the first "through the woods vid.
Just wait till I learn to edit! These so far are just as I recorded them!

That was cool, I take it you switched FPV on. Ooooo a bit close to the branch at the end of your drive. 0:58.
Just as a matter of interest what do you have the loss of signal response set to? I doubt it would be a consideration really given that the drone is within spitting distance but....

Thanks , yes FPV.. need to work on the gimbal controls some.
I did not change my RTH setting so if it lost signal I would be in trouble. I did think about it and maybe while I'm trying this I should set it to hover if I lose signal... just not sure on that. Would not want it to RTH in any case as its basically flying down a corridor.
Thoughts??

And yes there are a few close branches on these flights.. I will say they DO look a lot closer on the videos than they do in real time.

I have more of these flights to post eventually but they take forever to download into u tube.. for instance this one took about 4 hours!!

In a wide open space it might be interesting and informative to fly moving-forward circles and see how steeply it banks in response to the ordered yaw rate. I doubt "gimbal controls" are responsible for the amount of visible roll but how gentle your yaw commands are might be. I often fly side on to the wind in FPV just to see the drone's tilt and its quite startling at times.
That said I wouldn't mind my drones' having the MA2's banking in yaw, as per post #30 in "Practicing again", the visual banking in FPV appeals to me, aside from the side slip prevention ( side slip cost me two props on my M2P, bad piloting really but its nicer to share the responsibility lol).
I wonder why upload speeds are so much slower than download speeds, I see the same thing myself and I am most definitely using a different service provider lol.

Now i understand why you want the Orange Rescue Jacket for your drone , by the way your last video made me little sea sick but this one was ok , your getting better.

Working on it, what did you think of the FPV look?

Yep, orange is ok in my book!

This was really the first time that I saw it used and how it can change the scope of the flight, I still think it should be used in balance with the cinematic video but I really liked it . When did this Orange therapy start ?

My orange theropy as you call it started in the early to mid 80’s when I bought an orange International Scout... been going strong ever since!

That international Scout was nice for back than, and now the New Bronco is coming out and it looks close to the same thing. Watch out if they make it in orange.

After seeing this I may make a Neon Orange and Black , I like that. .

Wow, where did you get that picture?? Beautiful!! Mine was close to that.Similar stripes,same color,but mine was a hard top.
The commercial I saw for the new bronco had an orange one I think

I did some flying along this driveway this morning ( it is your fault ?).
I was super clumsy ( it is your fault again) .
I am going to publish it soon.
Also I got an other idea. Let's all have a video gallery about flying a drone along driveways... ??
It could be fun.... Maybe

HAHA!! Good idea, driveway flying!! Contest time!!
Looking forward to your video!

nice and smooth flight control inputs...great place to play it looks like

Well some are smooth, but I'm working on it, thanks.
