In the last video, I showed how "flying around the tune" can still result in some seriously smooth footage. In this video, I'm flying the Titan build which has always been a little less smooth than my Velvet build, and I'm DEFINITELY not "flying around the tune". Instead, I'm doing all the stuff that used to result in crappy, oscillaty footage.
Up until now, I've stayed on stock PIDs figuring it would be more beneficial to focus on flying skills than getting used to a specific feel. I think I've just always been afraid to play around with the numbers thinking I may actually do myself more harm than good by setting up a shitty tune. But I've always been plagued by nasty propwash and an overall "non-determined" feel to my quad and I finally set out to actually do something about it. I've watched Stingy's tuning video in the past and had always intended to take this approach when tuning. But recently I saw Le Drib's new video highlighting his process, and it really helped alleviate my hesitation to tune. I especially found it interesting that he ended up using similar numbers for his 6" as he does on his 5" build.
Since the sun was about to set I figured I would just start by bumping up the numbers a bit. Tom Smith sent me his dump recently, and I was about to put them in but after looking at Drew's PIDs from his "My Rates are Slow" video I decided to start there instead as they seemed a lot closer to what I would have raised my numbers to (...actually they seemed a little higher than what I was planning, but I said F-- it, let's just see how it flies and gave it a go). I still need to actually tweak the numbers myself a bit, but really not by much!! Please feel free to leave some feedback and let me know what you think! Enjoy :)
