Been in this game for some time and it still blows me away what these little things can do... and how much further pilots in the future will take them!
Awesome. ThNks for the tips! I’ve gotten a lot better at racing but now need to tighten my lines and practice gravity and anti gravity gates and slaloms.
Looking forward to more of these... maybe show how this gets incorporated in a track and a "drill." I'm always looking forward to learning more about racing and techniques... somethings I'm looking to see more of are what are some drills that you do, or practice track set-ups to work on specific skills, choosing lines, and pace. Just over all I feel like there is very limited information on the racing aspect especially from a top pilot. One of the most beneficial videos was your video on your channel where you broke down the track, I kept thinking finally! Also what is a average training week look like, how many packs, how do you design a track or are you just working on a specific track. Awesome stuff keep it coming!
Hey UAV tech can I use a 4 in 1 ESC to run 4 Motors on a fixed wing? Or I have an ESC one channel is smoked but the other three work can I use two of those for fixed-wing twin Motors? Thanks for your time Rob
@@FarmerFpv , sure can. Check amps though. Fixed w8ng os typically higher amp escs. Less motors, more amps per motor. Make sure wind can get to esc too.
The knife edge entry is pretty reliable once you're comfortable with it - I'm nowhere near as good at that as I am just going in blind and picking out other reference points, but smoother pilots can make that knife edge approach work really well, and make that a 10/10 success rate thing, at the cost of a couple of tenths.
Super nice. Thanks for that tutorial. Please show us how to accelerate to full throttle while flying a straight line without nose diving or flying to high. I find it hard to do.
Awesome! thank you!! Please continue with tutorials. I would also love to see more intermediate/advanced techniques. I learned a lot from justin's video "How to train for drone racing with Captain Vanover". More please!! Teach us master 😜😁
@@FlightClubFPV That's awesome!! sounds great. I would love a walk-through of learning a new track at a race, eg. If only 1 or 2 practice packs allocated, or 6 packs. Some questions may be: 1. Where are those packs best spent? 2. What alex is looking at, in order to find the best lines (as well as finding mental reference points, etc). I have experienced that by walking the track, sometimes lines that seemed "tight enough" in the goggles, were actually not. Also, watching your own dvr shows you everything you did wrong. 3. "I have practiced specific elements before, but now applying that to the race track", eg. "find the timing for that faster blind move into this track's dive gate". "i am watching for this", "that's a wide but safe line", "This is tight, more risky, but in the finals with nothing to lose, I could make up time with that line." I know a lot of that is just flying for yourself, and getting that "feel" for it with stick time. However, I found I improved tremendously by watching dvr of alex, mck, shaun, etc. Seeing the good lines, how they should be improves that "feel" with far less practice packs. Thank you for these videos guys!! Next I topics I would like: 1. Split-S gate. Fast, head on entry, and off angle entry. 2. hurdles & "slurdles". 3. Gate carousel? (one gate after another forming a turn) Awesome work on the slaloms video, you killed it!! 1. "Break down" of each part is easily consumable.👌 2. Slomo with stick cam is perfect👌 3. "Use mostly roll for slaloms" was the biggest single improvement I made after I heard it, and it clicked after 2 packs on the sticks. Those kind of tips are the "big ideas", briliant👌 Thank you Flight Club and Alex👏
Hey Captain - What flight simulator do you use for practice when it's raining? If you have several what's your 1st 2nd and 3rd prefference? PLUS... what are your settings in those SIM(s) so that the rest of us can get an idea of what you feel the simulator quad should fly like compared to real life so we might get the possibility to experience what you do... minus hitting all the gates so skillfully... ha ha. It's just totally AWESOME to watch you fly! Maybe make a Flight Club video about this and add it to your training series? Shout out from Pasadena, Tx. - Thanks Show less
@@FlightClubFPV Hey Mike - thanks for the heads up. Yea that is what I thought, BUT maybe it would be something to consider as a video so that beginners can get an idea of sim to real life through a professional pilot's perspective.
@@ARI3S all good here too, I've been doing a lot of flying and building new quads and fixed-wing. Decided to take a break from posting video until I feel I progressed a lot further. And I hope that flying 5 times a week has been helping. Watch your video You're killing it 🔥🤘
I don't really have the means to set up a qualifier, and my chapter is slacking on races this year. I wanted to compete this year but I feel like I'm severely under practiced. I do have a bundle of multigp gates and flags. Maybe you could show me some fundamentals to practice that I'll run into on a typical gp track. I saw you do a wide slalom with Justin and now this but I know you got a lot more you can show me. I got every day about ten packs but I never set up Gates. Obviously I need to change that. Do you think I need to burn more packs as well?
Any tips for dive gates with no turns involved? E.g. the one on the Buffalo Bando qualifier course? Aside from some well thought out strategy, it seems like the only solution is to "use the force"...
@@FlightClubFPV of course he is good racer. Probably i will never ride confidently at 40°( in tight spaces as in race track). But having angles close to 90 just makes more sense. More angle equals more forward thrust ( while you still can see something ). Thrust required to get around fast is sooner or later bigger than thrust required to keep airborne.
@@FlightClubFPV when I switched to flightone when it first came out, only took me a few minutes to get my quad up and running perfect. That's how simple it is to use. If you can run a betaflight quad flight one is a walk in the park. But I agree I'm sure he has some tips and tricks up his sleeve that he uses on F1 filtering.
Don't know the name of the type of gate setup, but you go through one gate, sideways power loop to a top gate, then drop into to the lower gate and keep going.
How about how to set your quad up in bf pids???? That is the biggest thing for me. Bc I have no idea what to set rates or supers or anything like that. I know mostly all pilots dont like to tell..... but you dont have to say yours, just point all of us in the right direction. This would be the only thing holding me back as of now. I tune for freestyle. And want to do race. But dont have any idea where to start for any of the pid running for it
just got a set of new motors and 1 of the motors feels so tight that I can hardly get it to make a full turn manually. Any suggestions on what I should do or is this motor defected?
If it has a set screw on the bottom back it off a little and see if the motor loosens up... And if you are trying to spin a motor in your hand make sure all three motor wires are not touching each other or it will create resistance threw your body which will make it harder to spin.
@Cecil Williams Thanx Cecil!!! Thank you very much for your replay! Around here is not always so simple to find places (better new places) to fly, or the right condition weather, etc. Do you believe that to practice with a sim can even do?? The only problem with the sim is that the quad act so differently from the real thing. And has not Horizon mode, ...and yes I am not so confortable in Acro mode even. And I am sooo bored to always fly alone.... bybye Cecil have a good day

Thanks for the tutorial Mr Vanover! More Please!
gotta love alex's flying

i believe vanover doesn't fly any sims at all. he has a permanent track setup at all times in his "front yard"
@@FlightClubFPV Hey Mike - thanks for the heads up. Yea that is what I thought, BUT maybe it would be something to consider as a video so that beginners can get an idea of sim to real life through a professional pilot's perspective.
The HD footage was nice but I think it would help if the FPV overlay was there too.
Just as a reference to what Alex was seeing 👍
Thanks. keeeeeeeep going

You need to post some stuff just so I can get my like button smash on 😈
Shouldn't it be "Generalissimo Vanover"? I mean, Dude, you're da bomb!
i know right. this guy flies faster than my brain can process what's happening
@@FlightClubFPV Totally!
I'd like you to do trippy spins😊 with the whole explanation how to control it meaning how to go up down. And rewind if there is time❤
Very good video I would like you to make a video of how to be smooth and precise when you are racing
i think that will come with lots of practice. i see fast pilots that are fast but still not smooth.

Hey Alex, Can you do a vid on faster turning? Not sure how PIDS relate to doing faster turns and roll and yaw. Still a noob.
Split S, corkscrew, carousel, slurdle, slalom =)
Any tips for dive gates with no turns involved? E.g. the one on the Buffalo Bando qualifier course? Aside from some well thought out strategy, it seems like the only solution is to "use the force"...
Doesn't look like actual racing camera angle. With more aggressive csmera angle wouldn't you need to enter gates differently?
camera angle is preference. alex flies at 38 - 40 and he can haul ass
@@FlightClubFPV of course he is good racer. Probably i will never ride confidently at 40°( in tight spaces as in race track).
But having angles close to 90 just makes more sense. More angle equals more forward thrust ( while you still can see something ). Thrust required to get around fast is sooner or later bigger than thrust required to keep airborne.
Slaloms we want to know how u n MCK DO that sick one motion move💆🏻♂️💆🏻♂️💆🏻♂️
the slaloms episode will be posted next week
Where can I find a video on your build setup?
it hasn't been made yet. i will do one once all his parts are settled
I know it not fully racing related but a full Flightone setup tutorial would be cool!
yes, we've been planning to do one but FlightOne stuff is hard to come by right now. I don't even have anything I can use

just got a set of new motors and 1 of the motors feels so tight that I can hardly get it to make a full turn manually. Any suggestions on what I should do or is this motor defected?
brand new? sounds like it's burnt
If it has a set screw on the bottom back it off a little and see if the motor loosens up... And if you are trying to spin a motor in your hand make sure all three motor wires are not touching each other or it will create resistance threw your body which will make it harder to spin.
