  • Hi!
proper altitude for the first flip?
« on: May 31, 2016, 01:42:29 pm »
Hi, I havent flipped my drone, and usually fly my drone around my head level (maximum height I've flown was even lower then 6m seriously).

of course the higher it flies, the easier i can flip it, but i concern when it crashes, the drone would be totally broken down.

How high would you recommend trying the first flip?

Rattitude will help you a lot. Brilliant with flip and rolls.

The wiki has what you need to do for fc settings.

Slower the flip or roll the more time it takes the more height you will lose.

The rule is fly two mistakes high.

If you're really good you could flip or roll at 6m if your learning higher will give you more time.

My first flips I did FPV and I was so high up I could see the tops of trees. So a good ways up high. Also. I was at about 450-480 degrees a second rotation. That seems to be a good starting value that's not too slow or stupid fast.
