FPV Freestyle Acro: Less Uptilt = Moar Awesome?

29,392 Views · Posted 8 years ago

I have been paying attention to what other acro pilots have been saying, and it sure seems like most of them fly at lower uptilt rather than higher. I've always said that more uptilt = more speed = more awesome, but I'm starting to think there's a limit. First, more speed means less precision in tight proximity situations. Second, more uptilt means more yaw coupling on roll moves, and I've found that camera uptilt compensation may have subtle effects that I don't like. I'm not sure, but I've turned it off. So anyway, I bumped from about 45 degrees down to about 30 degrees, and this is the result. What do you think?

(Incidentally, I don't mean to suggest it's impossible to have amazing acro with high uptilt, but we all can't be Matty can we?)
