I love this series! Grinding a few hours on your two skill targeting tracks has helped me crush my times on almost all my favorite "regular" tracks. Thank you Lexie!
I see comments here saying some people are not racers. I think these are good exercises even if you are a cinewhoop guy/girl, orbiting something or someone smooth and steady is a very convinient skill. Good video!
As you mentioned... Throttle control is crucial for not blowing out on a corkscrew or any turn really. Just that slight lift off just before the turn and through the turn. Good stuff.
@@MaiOnHigh think the reason for having more control on a corner with a slight ease off of throttle is nearly the same when racing in a car. When you ease off throttle, the weight of the vehicle is transfered forward, closer to the end of the vehicle that needs the grip for turning. Like a car, a quadcopter uses it's front motors most to turn. Especially the front outside motor. I don't have Velocidrone, just DRL. Do you know if Velocidrone runs on an AMD CPU and GPU? As just like the DCL sim, Velocidrone has no running requirements listed for an AMD computer, just Intel!!
Hey thats good advice. We call those orbits in America, corkscrew is two (or more) gates side by side. Just wondering: what you call two gates side by side in Europe?
yeah I was going to say those are spiral or orbit gates and a corkscrew is a series of side by side gates that you hit all of them from the same side. chips or crisp?
Thank you for making this track. It was challenging, fun, and really improved my skills. I enjoyed trying to get my lap times as fast as possible. If I ever start flying 5” quads, I’ll definitely come back to this track for practice.
55.07, best lap 17.06 with a Meteor 65. I’ll try it with a Betafpv75X next. I’m not likely to be flying a 5” in real life anytime soon, so I practice with whoops in the sim, but that may change as I improve. I look forward to flying your other tracks. Thank you for helping me learn this amazing world of FPV.
Another great video Lexie! You must use lots of expo, those little thumbs just flying everywhere 😂 I'm a pincher so not a lot of movement past center for me.
Great video. I'm not sure about calling it a corkscrew. I personally consider a corkscrew a horizontal ladder. This video is more like doing vertical ladder. Idk if that makes sense and hate to be technical but it could be confusing for people. Aside from that nice tutorial!
Im really enjoying these tutorials Lexie, very well explained and i like how you show the difference in laptimes. I can already see a difference in my sim times! Also the outro was hilarious! Robot Mai! 🤖🤖🤖
Love these I can't go as fast as you but it's so fun to try and get better and better the nemesis mode is great for this. I always get going to fast and have a hard time slowing down maybe there could be a way to train on that like a fast section but then slow way down for another part? Love the videos never stop!!
I made my back yard gates like the one in your sim. Made them out of pex pipe and rebar from Lowes wrapping the pex pipe with swim noddles to help make them a little easier to see. Just up graded to the multi gp gates and they are super easy to fly through with more speed. I guess once I get use to the extra speed go back to the smaller gates?
👍👍 Cool! Im a going to give this a try. Those are the things I have been really focusing on for improvement this off season. This and the slalom to Fortifying the basics. I will figure out the fancy combination freestyle tricks later when my basics are rock solid.
from the previous session i found for myself i needed more cam uptilt to have some descend lap times but at 40° it seems to go to fast for me and my movements become to sloppy, and if i try to slow down i dont see were im going , what cam uptilt do u use , it feels like im getting old :p keep up the good work :).
hey, thanks for chapters, they help a lot. Do you use some special settings for drag? I'm mostly flying in liftoff and physics there make quad stops faster, feels more natural. Any recommendations?
Hmmm... I think I'll just share my settings somewhere for comparison 🤔 Yeah I'll add chapters to the last one today ☺️ please let me know if I could make it better in any way still!
hi! Actually you don't need any particular dimentions for it. Standard gate and standard flag would do. Plus I have set another obstacle every 5 meters. Except the last one.
@@MaiOnHigh I live in Nepal , my brother is flying from Malta to Nepal in 10 days time . He promised to help me carry several fpv drone parts . So , please tell me if European store as your mentioned in the comment would give him a fast delivery . Thank you !
When lining up for the turn around the gate, is there a specific point that you focus on? I find that on left turns I need to force myself to see only the farthest left point on the gate and I aim for that to make a tight turn. Opposite for right. Otherwise I end up blowing the corner real wide. Throttle control seems to be a big part of this.
Yes throttle control is important. I just try to do my turns as tight (but safe) as possible. It will come with practice... As it's hard to set a point to focus on in this situation
@@MaiOnHigh I am finding myself turning prop power down to 50% while I am practicing these maneuvers. It keeps me from blowing the corners and lets me learn the line without going crazy. Is this bad practice?
I fly DJI drones, but really want to get into FPV. I want to get a controller and start training on a simulator. Which controller should I get that will work with simulators and any future drone I decided to build? The TX16S like you got? What gimbal type and what mode?
I think Mode 2 ist most common. I have the TX16S too and I'm very happy with it. I just got the special GNB 5000mAh Battery for it as an replacement for the shitty 18650 I had before. I'm very excited about the expected longer runtime. With the TX16S and it's multi module it's a very good radio. If you prefer this type over gamepad style radios. I would recommend the hall-gimbals because of their longevity.
@@MaiOnHigh I was thinking about that but to be honest I'm not ready yet. I'm still playing with my grip, my rates even with different holding style of my TX16S. I'm all over the place. The fastest person did this track in 23 seconds. That's exactly half of my time. How this is even possible?
@@tycoontrading9352 well I can also help with settings during the call to find the best ones fo you. How is it possible? Training, muscle memory, experience. Those tracks are used by pro pilots too 😅

Sorry to say no :( I’m a cad guy spending to much time at a computer. Once the work day is over the battery charger is usually calling.
You can do it in real life too ☺️
I love this series! Grinding a few hours on your two skill targeting tracks has helped me crush my times on almost all my favorite "regular" tracks. Thank you Lexie!
wohoo! I love that you make progress! Let's smash all of your records everywhere with this series
I see comments here saying some people are not racers. I think these are good exercises even if you are a cinewhoop guy/girl, orbiting something or someone smooth and steady is a very convinient skill. Good video!
Agreed! It's not purely for racing but every practice is a good practice!
OMG the best outro i've even seen :D haha
Creepy one 😂
@@MaiOnHigh yeah 😂
jak pogodynka w tv
@@dinocivardi8432 to one sa takie automatyczne? 😂
@@MaiOnHigh to Ty znasz polski?

Yeah we need some lessons and tracks on throttle control 😎 on it!

Awesome, Lexie! Thanks a lot for all the tips! 😃
Stay safe and flying there! 🖖😊
Stay safe! Glad you liked it! Really! 💜
Hey thats good advice. We call those orbits in America, corkscrew is two (or more) gates side by side. Just wondering: what you call two gates side by side in Europe?
Powerloop 🤔
Good to know!I will make a separate video on that too!

Great ☺️ glad to hear it! Be sure to check other tracks made in this series! I release weekly! What's your time now?

Very Nice just what i was looking for. First 40 minute practice and made it to top 15 will practice more.
Wohoo! Great! Keep going!
Hi Lexie! I'm not a racer...But it seems to me your giving very good instruction. Keep up the good work.
Thank you a lot! Yeah I need to do freestyle too 😂
Another great video Lexie! You must use lots of expo, those little thumbs just flying everywhere 😂 I'm a pincher so not a lot of movement past center for me.
I actually use 0.00 expo 😂
Hi Mai I love Velocidrone. Great info. I play as often as i can. We do game nights and get together with many fliers. Left a like be safe
That's awesome! Like a social velocidrone evening?
And thank you!
Just bought a new laptop now I can follow your tutorials on velocidrone my poor old mac could not keep up lol
That's great! What do you have now? ☺️
@@MaiOnHigh hp envy x360 ryzen 7 works with velocidrone much better
That track had my head spinning, but good practice for orbits.
Haha that too! I actually get lost in it if I am pushing it hard 😅
Great video. I'm not sure about calling it a corkscrew. I personally consider a corkscrew a horizontal ladder. This video is more like doing vertical ladder. Idk if that makes sense and hate to be technical but it could be confusing for people. Aside from that nice tutorial!
I just got to know that in US it's called differently 😂 what you guys in US call a corkscrew we call a powerloop 😱
@@MaiOnHigh lol ahh that makes sense! 🤣
Great video! :)
Thanks!
thank you so much, keep making nice content ;)
And thank you for watching ☺️
What I was missing is: flying like a robot. Your talk was 👌
Love these series, keep creating 🙂
Yeah it's hard for me to talk and fly at the same time and I don't wanna first fly then explain 😂 maybe it's a training for me too 😂
@@MaiOnHigh you don't know BMSthomas wo flies like a robot?
Great explanation and well demonstrated! Would be funny to invite MinChan and show us all how to do it at nanoseconds.
I'll ping michan about possibility of collab on this 😂
Thanks for your feedback!
@@MaiOnHigh Many people are enjoying your new content. Thanks for covering more topics related to drones, not just products 👌

Haha thanks 😂 outro is creepier than I thought it would be but oh well 😂
Thanks for your feedback and I am super happy that you learn stuff here! ☺️
Lol the outro was great
Creepy AF 😂
BTW, there's a baby missing in your outtro... It could even be Grogu. 😬
😂😂😂😂😂

Uh good topic "slowing down training"
Thanks for your feedback and I am so glad that you learn something ☺️

Just up graded to the multi gp gates and they are super easy to fly through with more speed. I guess once I get use to the extra speed go back to the smaller gates?
When you get faster, I recommend getting a bigger backyard 😉. So much fun learning to race, enjoy!
As I said in video - I believe if you hit smaller ones - there's no problem to hit bigger ones. It's all on purpose
Haha yeah true
My hardest part is learning the track. I heard someone mention a spotter? How does that work?
@@slowridefpv9668 you usually have a person behind you who check if you go through the track properly and you can ask them to help learn the track
Great maps, even tough I freestyle, these exercises helps me a lot :D
what mapping are you using? mode 2?
Yes. The standard one. Hapoy to hear it helps freestyle too!
👍👍 Cool! Im a going to give this a try. Those are the things I have been really focusing on for improvement this off season. This and the slalom to Fortifying the basics. I will figure out the fancy combination freestyle tricks later when my basics are rock solid.
That's great to hear! More videos incoming so I hope you will stick for basics ☺️
@@MaiOnHigh Yes! You bet! 🤘😁
PD about last part: you dont speak as a robot is more like a tabacco machine voice🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 omg
@@MaiOnHigh could you get any little discount for the sim?🙈
from the previous session i found for myself i needed more cam uptilt to have some descend lap times but at 40° it seems to go to fast for me and my movements become to sloppy, and if i try to slow down i dont see were im going , what cam uptilt do u use , it feels like im getting old :p keep up the good work :).
I think it's the case of muscle memory and getting used to it.
When I fly I do it on 50° all the time ☺️ did it feel so fast on video?
hey, thanks for chapters, they help a lot. Do you use some special settings for drag? I'm mostly flying in liftoff and physics there make quad stops faster, feels more natural. Any recommendations?
Hmmm... I think I'll just share my settings somewhere for comparison 🤔

I made a dedicated post for the velocidrone quad and game settings www.maionhigh.com/train-insane-velocidrone-my-game-and-drone-settings/
Do you have dimensions so we can replicate this and other training courses outside when the weather cooperates?
hi!
Actually you don't need any particular dimentions for it. Standard gate and standard flag would do. Plus I have set another obstacle every 5 meters. Except the last one.
Hi there ! How do you buy fpv drone parts in Malta ? Is there any local website to buy drone parts in online ? Please reply me , thank you
I don't know about local stores in Malta but there's always banggood. You can check it out through my links in description ☺️
You can also try some european stores such as rctech.de 🤔
@@MaiOnHigh I live in Nepal , my brother is flying from Malta to Nepal in 10 days time . He promised to help me carry several fpv drone parts . So , please tell me if European store as your mentioned in the comment would give him a fast delivery . Thank you !
@@DronemanfromNepal yeah rctech usually comes within a couple of days ☺️
How are your Velocidrone tutorials in order or should just start from any of your Velocidrone tutorials?
You can start from any or follow the calendar provided on www.maionhigh.com

Wonder how many other viewers would rather have you do similar robot outros 🤣🤣🤣
So sad about the extended lockdown in your part of the world...
It's ok. In march it will be 5 months of ongoing lockdowns 😂
Similar outros ya say? What about... Taking it to another level 😂
Great video just wanted to say hi
Hi! Thanks!
good mic
Thanks ☺️
Hi im pretty new to fpv is velocidrone a sim you would reccomend me to get or is drl or liftoff better?
I personally like velocidrone most

Would you recommend running 2000kv on a race quad?
You using 4s or 6s?
6s sorry
Hi, how is it going?
I'm good. You good?
I menage to cut my time to 46 seconds after 2h of grinding but I'm not improving anymore :-(
It's a process. You need to maybe do something else. There's always an option of 1on1 call where I can tell you where and how to improve 😅
