Banked Turn Technique

[DrDiff]

On a fixed wing it is bank and yank the stick back.

Now on a quad how would you perform a banked turn? Bank and throttle up?

I am starting to think a left would mean roll left (right stick) and left rudder (left stick)

Yep - left banked turn - left rudder (watch altitude drop) and roll left (aileron); right banked turn - right rudder (watch altitude drop) and roll right (aileron). give it a try, tell us how it works for you.

I've been practicing it too, you need to balance the amount of pitch as well as the throttle, to get the radius of curve you want. I've managed a few nice tight banked circles, but I usually end up with either too tight and pirouetting, or a large skidding curve usually ending in a tree. Looks cool when you get it right though.
