I wish rotor riot made some vids of advanced topics (like how to train for drone racing (tips and tricks), setting up the track tips and tricks etc.), but still, rotor riot makes great vids and this isn't an exception
Yes, advanced topics are most welcome.
We all started out knowing almost nothing, learnt enough to get by, but there will always be topics/tricks that us average pilots will see as advanced, and something to learn/achieve.
Rotor Riot isn't really a racing-focused channel. It's always had its heart in freestyle. I would 100% skip racing-focused videos if they started putting them out.
There have been freestyle tutorial videos in the past, and I think some of them could be updated, but for the most part they hold up well.
As far as advanced videos for building, tuning, etc.... well, that's why we have Bardwell. ;)
A video where Alex goes through his ideas for a fun race course and then the some non-racers like Drew, Cricket and Bardwell race it, with their freestyle rigs. I'm a firm believer in multi-disciplinary training and that you don't need a super light hardcore race monster to dabble in racing.
They kind of did that quite a while back. I don't recall anything in regards to racing, but they did make a trick tutorial series. This was back when Charpu and Steele were still part of the RR team.
Rotor riot is freestyle... but yes I’d like some racing tips to practice cuz I suck at quad racing
“The thing in the thing with the things.” -Drew, word wizard.
ARF - "Almost capable of Flying" 🤣
PNP... Plug N Play
little do you know le drib just makes rotor riot videos in his basement😂
Best video yet for actually helping new ppl
sweet liftoff sound @ 7:40 🤟🏼
I'm gonna be the pedant who notes that almost none of these initialisms are acronyms. ;)
Love those flips and reversals to make sure Drew's gesturing from left to right. My boy pulling Rubiks cubes over here.
Bothered me too a little. Stands for not always the same as an acronym.
Drew - this is great. Thank you for going through that.
Rotor Riot should make an Acronym t -shirt. I would buy one. Cool video Drew.
We're probably the king of acronyms amongst hobbies... ;D
Just imagine going further than the basics with the filters and then the CLI... see, can't even go a sentence without one. ;)
I would have loved to see this when I was starting out!
My friend was asking me about my kawd. How I got it. I was like I'm new to the hobby. But I don't like RTF or BNF to start at the beginning, cause eventually I'm going to crash my kawd like hell and I probably need to disassemble the frame, clean up the air unit, FC,, ESC, etc... And wire thenm back together,. And maybe put some new props. ...
my friend ：oh................ What???????
I’m gonna send this to my mom so she can understand what I’m saying
Is there a TPU fix for my TBS UFL? Bet JB knows 🤔
First video I see on the subject, helped me to know what goes where, and what is useful for each component. thank oyu
Love it keep up the great work guys . Nice to help out the new pilots.
Serial-Bus for SBUS I would imagine mate
I guess I NTMSCAGMDS. (Need To Make Some Coffee And Get My Day Started)
Escape the Matrix mood
You guys should consider making a discord server. It would be easier to contact you. E-mail isn't really the best way of communicating.
A bonus with having a public discord server is that the community can help the community, meaning that you guys won't have to deal with all the questions.
RSSI is another one people get lost on. Nice Liftoff Music Track. I wonder how many people caught that one. I looked at my computer, because I thought Liftoff was running in the background. lol
First and dumbest mistake is using Facebook...
ZeroFPV don’t understand why people hate on Facebook, your feed is what you make it. Mines full of great stuff.
@@Zeesneakyninja because as much as it is what you make it, its more what other people make it. You can only control what you post, not others. And if you don't want to see all the BS (and there is copious amounts of it on FB) you have to just stop being on FB. There is no way to block it all.
Stus discord n reddit ftw
@@bigdatapimp exactly!! I absolutely hate Facebook. Nothing but keyboard tough guys with Cheeto stains in mommys basement.
@@WrongWayFPV kinda like you're doing right now? 😁
C rating acronym is an important one, choose a battery pack with a too low C number and it won't be as enjoyable as flights with high C battery pack.
licensetodrive the “C” rating is a approximate measurement of the maximum charge(Q) in a burst. It essentially defines how the current changes with time when shorted. The unit for charge is the coulomb (C). Therefore is a unit not a acronym.
Omg, the s in 4s and 6s stands for series! That's clever I always thought it was due to someone not knowing how to spell cells (and that c is already used to represent the discharge rate)
Genius I actually learnt something
The other letter you may sometimes see in descriptions of battery packs is P, for Parallel.
So 4S2P means 4 sets of 2 cells in parallel. Putting identical cells in parallel is done for increased amperage output and/or increased capacity, notably when fixed sized cells are used such as 18650 lithium ions.
Eg, my ebike battery has 18650 cells in a 7S4P setup, for the high voltage and the high amperage output.
Nice editing
But what does KV stand for? 5:08
when will the store be back on stock!!?
I just love the style of the video
So I’m new to this, why do you use lower KV motors with higher series batteries? It seems backwards to me lol can some explain.
The speed of a motor is governed by voltage. Kv is the revolutions per minute per volt.
4S voltage in a 1700Kv motor (designed for 6S voltage) will make it spin slower than required, so the Kv needs to be increased for the lower voltage going into it, which is typically 2400Kv for 4S.
@@licensetodrive9930 ok that makes sense thank you :)
Thank you DRIB. I feel dumb now 🧐😆
Hey guys. Quick question. Can we use DJI FPV air unit with any other goggles or mobile.
Thankyou.
I hooked my FC to my PC with USB 2 UART cable. Types in some BASH commands but I am a DF that never RTFM so now my FC is FUBAR.
Nice video very instructive
I don't think I've ever seen an ARF-labelled quad, what you described is usually sold as BNF (bind 'n' fly).
ARF is a term hasn’t been widely used for quite some time - for some reason we switched to PNP instead.
could KV stand for Kinetic Voltage?
You missed OP - Omni Directional, LP - and Linear polarized, GPS - Global Position Service, MULTI - multi protocol, BF - Betaflight, LOS - Line of Sight, RC - Remote Control, Vbat, Buz-, Buz+, Vout, Vin, GND, just to name a few that you need to know!
Ok so if im going 6s i have problem chossing the motors as they come in kv on sites and i heard the ppl fly 6s batteries on 4s motors is it a good option
Hey I’m kinda new to the hobby and I’m not sure of everything yet I just got a new drone and I have a lot of questions about it bc it just seem that things keep just going wrong and more wrong do u think u can help me or maybe email me I really do enjoy this lifestyle
Rotor riot build video for the freestyle drone, it's my first drone n build. I could use some help
I also remember suffering from unfamiliar words at first, my frien
Where were you when I started this hobby hahaha
Man I just finished a final and now I have a Foreign Language lesson? Sheeeeeee-t of paper in hand lets go
Good lesson lol
NES Nice eye shadow
Hmmm might be helpful to stipulate the differences between RX’s (video vs radio RX)
I’m 3:09 into the video and can see new folks possibly being overwhelmed.
Watching more....Might be back 😬
Ok so 5:53 starts the discussion around all the RX/TX discussions whether its radio or video.
What connects to what.
As a noob a few years back I’d be quickly checking YT videos for stuff I knew of and then gone back to my build, then found something I didn’t know of and hit the YT again for info.
Small video bites of info worked for me as a noob.
Not the constant back and forth in a single video to understand new terminology
you missed going over "uarts" that's ok though. You can cover them another time😁
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter.
Yea I know, thank you though. I was just thinking I feel uarts are one of the more important ones and it's not on here.
@@vhfgamer oh dang im glad we just get to call them uarts hahaha
Sbus is wrong. Sbus is the signal that goes into the fc. It is the signal that goes trough the cable between rx and fc. And not the protocol between the TX and Rx. On futaba it ist Fasst, on spectrum dsmx and on frsky accst.
👍
I missed the c-rating of my li-po!
can somebody explain what "failsafe" means?
👍👍👍
Anacronym makes a word they are technically initialisms
I like my Red Hot Chilli Pepper antennas
Haha..so funny
I remember being on the rotor riot Facebook group, aaand then I was banned
why?
@@rawpicsfpv3516 because they are PC police
@@Zachsnotboard when you get banned for saying the n word😔
@@sa1t938 yeah ok buddy
pretty sure S.Bus is just Serial Bus
correct me if im wrong tho
what about F.Port? ;-)
I wish I could afford a kwad
@@smooth_ops2942 I know but I just wish I could fly fpv
Why can’t you afford a quad?
..and a charger, batteries
@@ventureoutdoors648 don't have enough money and I can't buy it.(parents)
xt60.. xt30.. gps.. 🛸
jesus is the phone for goggles then? whats with that? are there two cameras to see in 3d?
omg idk my bff jill
first?
Rooster FPV hey I’m GooseFPV nice to meet you rooster. I’m called goose not by choice but because my rc guru buddy feels it’s appropriate. A goose attacked my Mavic over a lake then I switched to fpv 😀😡
@@CaseyGray58 Nice😂 Im just RoosterFPV becuse I like chickens but Chicken FPv sound wierd.
Rooster FPV fair enough 🤣 I no longer like any sort of burb ☺️😝🤷🏻♂️
I'm literately in production making this same video uggg!! scrap that project!
He didn't wrote it ACROnyms. Much sad
Аим рашин 😁😆🤣 и плохо говорить по английски
People just need to do more homework before jumping in! I see it more and more every day. Everyone wants everyone else to do the work for them. I am all about getting new people into the hobby but please do some homework.
hi 有朋友在吗？
first
FPV, RTF, PWM, etc are not acronyms, they are initialisms. An acronym is a word formed by the initials of the works. I.E. Radar or Laser. An initialism is just the group of initials. I.E. CIA, IRS.
@@ToadM16 pwm and rtf are not words.
@@ToadM16 correct and an as I stated before An acronym is a word or name formed from the initial components of a longer name or phrase, usually using individual initial letters, as in NATO, but sometimes using syllables, as in Benelux, or a mixture of the two, as in radar. Therefore PWM, RTF, etc. Are infact not acronyms or abbreviations as stated in the video or by you.
@@ToadM16 St. Ave. Or Blvd would be examples of abbreviations.
@@ToadM16 also Li-Po or Li-Ion would be abbreviations, Drib was right about those!
You were doing great till you got to KV... kv describes rpm=kv * voltage
1 view and six likes
Thanks TH-cam algorithm
Many people will immediately 'Like' a video before they've watched it.
yo does this dude have eye makeup on or something it's distracting me from learning these gd acronyms
If I watched this before I bought my first frame, I wouldn't buy the Rotor Riot HD1 that I am building right now. Just because your body language is so exaggerated, it is annoying. Hehehe
Turn the freaking autofocus off. It's the 3rd-4th time I write this on your videos.
It induces vertigo...
hit the thumbs down because no one else did. an interaction is an interaction , thanks youtube
You forgot about the acronym BARDWELL, as in "I'm about to BARDWELL".
Batteries
Are
Really
Drained
When
Elevation
Loss
Looms
Basically it means your battery hit 3v/cell and your quad is about to fall out the sky.
I may have just made this up right now... :D
FBI: We're coming to ur house
lol! ..been there done that..
In my head I am like 8:30, but in reality I am 0:17
haha
Even tho I just started out, I knew almost all of em
#Flex lol
And FF for Fabian FPV 👆
Fabian FPV best juice pilot 😍
@@kastyh-fpv 😂👌
Who else has never ever used 'VRX'?😂
I just used FPV goggles. LOL
I love this editor man. He makes the mistakes of Drib funny 😂 😂
lmao I can relate so much to the "1... 2... 3..." hand motions when spelling out each acronym. It must have been FRUSTRATING to find you've been pantomiming in the incorrect direction. And while you could re-record... F that noise, FIX IN POST!
I feel you LeDrib / Rotor Riot editors. I feel you.
This is the exact video I needed when starting out
Like everything in life you take on for the first time, a new skill, hobby, employment, one must basicly learn a new language to master it. Le Drib breaks it down! :)
Drib is putting acro in acronyms
K I'm out
Forgot probably the most important one for beginners, JB - Joshua Bardwell. For instance; “Was talking to JB and he suggested to reflow the solder joints.” Or, “you should check out JB’s channel, lots of good info there.” Or the other Acronym RR - Rotor Riot, for instance “did you see the new RR video, they forgot some acronyms” or, “look at those new RR pilots”
FC and ESC build on one Board is called AIO ? I thougt an AIO is FC and PDB ??
Great video Drew. I've been building with my son and just went over all this with him, this video will be great for new pilots.
Great video for new flyer ,keep up the good work!
Shoutout to the editor 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽😂. Gr8 job Drib 👍🏽👍🏽
What does PNP mean? is it similar to ARF?
You need to add your own receiver.
ok thx
I thought it was pnp. Plug n play
Wow.. love it..
I hear that liftoff music😏
I know all of the things in the thumbnail, am I cool now?
It was a good feeling when I got to the end of the clip and concluded that I knew all the acronyms....now I just neet to fly better than a fucking thurd :D
Thanks Bill Nye.... I mean Drew.
Thanks. I never understood why they use S and not C for cells...
Think it's so people don't confused with C rating.
@@mattknowsnothing It's definitely not so people don't get confused with C rating. :)
@@rmdcade1717 haha, just saying it's cells in (S)eries, is just to easy and no fun😋
TBS? 😉 In Beta 4.2 there is no option to change gyro from 8k 😉 CLI = command line. There might be a chance we can still change it. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Keep these vids coming!!! Loved the delivery and value of info!!! For a favor... go through cam, vtx, fc wiring and the flow between these magical “smart audio” integrated components!!! Including wiring tab cross communication translation....
OK this video is a must for a beginner. Good video RR
Thanks Drib, just an FYI, most of these are actually called abbreviations. Acronyms are prounouncable abbreviations, like PID.
FPV is definitely one of the greatest hobbies.
