Flips and rolls lol

I headed out to the local sports fields down the street to work on acro flight, here is a small clip.

Then after the fields filled with kids and families I went home and did some angle flights that gave me some Arse Puckering Moments (APMs)

I've found that flying in acro mode gives me full control over the quad, not only for doing stunts but just regular forward flight.

I am thinking of working on the Acro trainer mode in replacement of angle eventually. I don't do stunts around the house since I have many trees and I have a hel of a time staying low like I do in angle.

Torc my flying looked just like your flying until I adjusted my super rates and expo in betaflight.

This guy explains it well. I ended up raising all my super rates to 1000 and adding .2 expo. It really helped.

I completely missed these from earlier in the post but glad you reposted it. I watched this before I had a hobby grade quad and it made little sense then and I forgot about it.

This is my current setup. I will be putting this information to the test after work.

These new rates work very well with my gt 200 and qx 90, I'll be testing them on my wizard tonight as well but I have confidence it'll work on that bird as well.

So brushed motors of the qx90 can handle the upper end of rates (1000+)?

Correct because the only time the 1000 rate will apply is when your roll stick is at the end of its travel which will cause your quad to do a complete flip or roll in less than 1/3 of a second. You'll never have it floored for longer than that.

What do you think? Looks like your kicking ass to me lol.

Night and day! I am impressed with the settings and how the quad feels. I was able to do a few laps where I had to do very little correcting and it made for a smooth move around the course.

To me acro mode is like playing a video game in expert mode. Also like trying arpegios on guitar. Brings a new 3 dimensional aspect of flying lol.

I tried acro trainer in my backyard yesterday with the rates at 1000 and it was easier to control than when I flew at the sports complex. I was able to stay lower to the ground, which has been a constant issue in acro, and after a few mins, I was able to fly laps and even managed to fly under/between the tree/shed which I could not get anywhere close to before.

I bumped my rates up to 1100 and plan to fly in acro trainer more today.

Yes more of the same rookie flips but this time it's in a drainage ditch lol:
