5 Steps to FPV Drone Racer Professional
There are 2 types of pilots in FPV Racer:
1. Freestyle type
2. Type racing / track
The following article is to discuss how to step into FPV Drone Racer Professional from 0. Broadly speaking there are 5 stages in the pass, can be seen in the picture below
5 steps fpv drone racer professional.5 Steps to FPV Drone Racer Professional
All of the above steps must be fully loaded. Let's discuss them one by one
Step 0 (before entering step 1)
- Have a drone racing
There are 3 ways to get drone racer:
1. Buying ARF / RTF such as TBS Vendetta, Vortex 250, TBS QQ190, etc.
2. Assemble yourself by purchasing the components separately
3. Have others assemble (with their own choice component / other people's choice)
In this step 0 please adjust the budget, and for the selection of purchase items please read REVIEW either ask in online forum or local community. There are some advantages and disadvantages of each option, for example we buy ARF / RTF then we do not know the assembly process while playing FPV Drone Racing is very prone to crash / fall and damage to the components so there is a repair process. So the best option is number 2 / 3. Why is number 3 also included? because with assemblies we can learn which is a bit difficult on the ARF / RTF package.
After we have a complete Drone with FPV Tool and Radio Controlnya now we enter the next step. Oh yes my advice for beginners who just started this hobby, do not easily tempted by new goods, because the hobby is very fast once the update of goods / programs that have not been tested both reliability and performancenya. Use products that are obviously good REVIEW it.5 Steps to FPV Drone Racer Professional
Rare 1
Basic Practice - Basic Training (LOS / Line Of Sight / By Eye)
This step is the step where we fly by seeing the drone directly, without using FPV device. We try to learn from take off / landing to Nose In as in the picture above. The challenge is for the first time to hold the radio control would be difficult to set the throttle to drone as desired. Oh yes, at this stage the drone flies in ANGLE / STABILIZE mode so that the drone will always be on level condition. This exercise is tedious because there is no keseruannya, tp believe controlling in LOS condition is quite important because in addition to training the movement of the thumb also train the ability to catch the orientation of the drone itself. Estimated from me if every day latian then it should be 1-2 weeks is enough.
Step 2
FPV Computer Simulation - FPV Simulation on Computer / Laptop
There are now many simulation programs that can be used for FPV exercises. Call it DRL, FPV-Freerider, LiftOFF, and many more. There are tips from me, try setting drone and simulation in accordance with real conditions, so you need an expert friend to provide direction how real condition exists. Well, here are 2 options how to play, the first if your Goggle support with HDMI input then directly use goggle to get used to goggle, and the second if not support then enough with the existing LCD. In my opinion, this simulation exercise is very important to reduce the risk of crushing drones in the third step and so on. Oh yes, this step is required to use the original remote yes, when using FrSky Taranis can be directly connected via the USB port, but for other remote can use dongle. The steps are the same in step 1, that is start learning take off / landing until there is obstacle. For the early days choose an open field location and if it feels able to control try some of the existing obstacle / obstacles. In this step I think it takes 1-4 weeks to be able to control well in accordance with each person.
Step 3 and Step 4
Outdoor FPV Training (Horizon & Acro Mode) - FPV practice in the field (Horizon & Acro Mode)
Well this step is the most awaited step2, because we directly play with our drones FPV. For step 3 fly in HORIZON mode and use FPV do not fly loss as in step 1, do not be afraid to fall / crash. Try in step 0 to choose frames and strong propellers so as not to wasteful. The process as in the picture above. For step 4 the same in step 3 but the mode used is ACRO. Tips from me, tilt the camera does not need to be too up, just 10deg course. Later the more we can control it will be easier to raise tilt from FPV cameras. Try to have enough batteries to be satisfied in the exercise, I think at least have 6pack for maximum results. Oh yes, 1 again, try to use Lipo 3S first so not too fast, later when it is able to control the new grade to 4S.5 Steps to FPV Drone Racer Professional
Step 5
For step 5 itself do not need to explain, because if step 4 is already proficient later will be interested in the tricks of freestyle. And for now-now most of the competition / race is a race / race so my advice more latiah race / track. For freestyle can be done anywhere, but for latian track we need to gather with friends both for the preparation of the track / arena and in the training session to train mentally when competed.
