Hey guys,
Name's Mike. I'm kind of an RC noob, but I'm hoping this place will help me get better, or at least help me spend way too much money that I don't have on another hobby. I have a few micro quads, namely the super micro Cheerson, slightly bigger Hubsan X4 and a Traxxas Alias. I have also flown smaller single rotor helicopters like the Blade msr. I mostly fly my Alias in Mode 2, which for those not familiar is the stabilized sport flying mode. Mode 1 is the beginner mode and mode 3 is the unstabilized, I guess acro mode. While I can easily hover and do slow flight in the acro mode, I quickly get disoriented and over-correct all the way to the scene of the crash if I try to do any quick maneuvers. I am consistent in that regard. Now, in the stabilized sport mode, I can fly all out in all directions with ease.
What brings me to this site is, I'm really looking into venturing into the world of FPV freestyle. Given my relative decent grasp of controlling the quad in stabilized mode, regardless of the orientation, I would think that flying FPV would make acro mode a bit easier. I know I'm very likely kidding myself, but I guess I gotta learn somehow. Anyway, I need to start browsing the site so I can hopefully find some answers already talked about so I don't get the dreaded, "Use the search feature, NOOB" response too many times.
Anyway, longer winded than I expected, so I hope this site can help me grow in this hobby.
