Hello my dear whoop friends. This video is about the so-called Line Of Sight flying of a drone or a helicopter (more on that later in this video description). So it's a tutorial about how you can learn to fly Line Of Sight in a structured, efficient and safe manner. By the way, the abbreviation for Line Of Sight is LOS, which will appear often in the video. I made this video because people who see me flying LOS often ask how they can learn it. And because I don't want to tell people the same for 100 times, I made this video. And also because a few people here on RUclips asked if I could do it. And yes I can. But it was unexpectedly a lot of work! About 20+ hours in total! That's why dear user of this tutorial: Don't forget to watch this line of sight tutorial in its entirety (you can also run it on the side for RUclips algorithm) and share this line of sight tutorial with your friends and on social media. And of course like, subscribe and comment. I appreciate every single like, every subscription and every comment! This LOS tutorial is part 1. The basics of line of sight flying. If I get good feedback, I might do a second and third part about advanced line of sight flying (fluid forward and backward flight) and then line of sight aerobatics. But for this I really need the support of each and every one of you! Thank you in advance my friends! ⚠‼⚠ Now a few words about safety: Learning to fly L.O.S with Tiny Whoops is very safe. But as soon as you switch to open props and/or larger drones such as 5-inch drones or helicopters, it quickly becomes dangerous. Even very dangerous with RC helicopters. Therefore, always make sure that you maintain a safe distance from your aircraft. I won't go into more detail about safety here as this tutorial is only for tiny whoop drones. Flying an RC helicopter is almost the same (except that you can only do the hovering in the ground effect or the first jumps with a training landing gear or, even better, you should first practice all the exercises in the simulator), but when learning to fly an RC helicopter, there is a lot more to be done in terms of safety be respected. To be on the safe side, I'll just say this: It's never worth getting injured! Never! That's why always prepare for the unforeseen. Always make sure that the safety distance between yourself and other people and other living creatures is large enough to prevent personal injury. And make sure that your aircraft is in perfect mechanical and electrical condition, that the failsafe works (tested!) and that you know where your engine off switch on the remote control is and that it works (tested!). Furthermore, make sure that you do the pre-flight check correctly before every flight. Always use your brain before it is fragmented from a helicopter blade. Not after that. ;-) Since I will be doing some tutorials in the future, I have made a short video here showing how you can use a tutorial in a proper and efficient way: ruclips.net/video/YbAXjo7OAls/видео.html Always note and open the video description Open and use chapters Use the arrow keys on your keyboard Use the subtitels for other languages Write me your feedback in the comment section Like and Subscribe and set the notifications to on if you like my content A tutorial, so to speak, on how to use a tutorial on RUclips.

Great job putting together this video. Thanks very much. It’s the first tutorial of its type that I’ve seen. A fantastic contribution to the community💪 Coming from RC planes I feel it is worth learning drone LOS as well as FPV. Keep up the good work and we look forward to follow on tutorials. 👍😀
Rotary wing LOS flying always eluded me. It's an essential skill but flying fpv does not prepare you for LOS at all. Your explanations of nose in / nose out position and centerlines, position relative to pilot made me look at LOS in a new light and I will be trying your routine soon. Thank you for taking your time to make these informational videos.
Thank you for your support and feedback my whoop friend! 🤜🤛appreciate it. Yes FPV does not prepare you much for LOS. But LOS does prepare you quite a bit for FPV. I wish you much success in learning to fly LOS! Maybe you would like to write in 2-3 months how things are going and what your experiences are..
Thanks for the awesomely structured approach! I am still on my learning path, but I have something to share 🙂 My favorite starter exercise is "walk the dog" when I follow my whoop along the path. I spice it up by flying around trees.
Thank you for your feedback and support my whoop friend! 🤜🤛 appreciate it. Good name for that exercice! Thanks for reminding me of that! I will include the "walk the dog" exercise in one of the next tutorials!
Thanks for this video. I'm looking forward for the next to come. Please consider dumping the AI voice. Your english is perfectly fine! I'm from Poland and english is not my native language too. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you for your support and feedback my whoop friend! 🤜🤛appreciate it ! In the future there will probably sometimes be videos with AI voice and sometimes without..
Thank you for your feedback my whoop friend! 🤜🤛 appreciate it. Yes absolutely, it is actually very beneficial to fly LOS and FPV! I would even start with LOS in the standard position (if you have a whoop or a similarly safe quad) with the tail of the whoop always facing you for the first twelve exercices. And only then move on to FPV. Then you already have very good control over the height and your fine motor skills have already been trained a little..
When it comes to LOS, do you think it makes sense to start in angle mode, just to get down all the directrions, the quad facing you, facing away from you and get all this first into your brain and later switch to acro - or starting acro right a away, which would be (to me) the right way to start with goggles?
Yes, you can start in Angle mode. To be honest, I did it exactly as you described. But looking back, I should have switched to acro mode sooner. That's why I recommend you: Angle mode as a starting aid is ok, but as soon as you're able to fly to some extent and you've gotten to know the controls, immediately switch to Acro mode. The problem is that you may then tend to stay in angle mode. That wouldn't be good for learning progress. I would recommend switching to acro mode as early as possible. And if possible even start with acro mode. I know the first few sessions are very difficult. But after a few sessions it gets better and better.. I hope this helps..
Do you mean the semicircle up to the 90 degrees sideways position? What exactly do you find difficult about this exercise? You always have to give a little rudder so that the front of the whoop always faces outwards. So from the center of the circle outwards. Maybe you can explain to me in more detail where you are having difficulties with this exercise. No, there is no setting in Betaflight that must be changed as a beginner. But of course you can change the rates a bit as well to your liking as well as throttle cut, throttle mid and throttle expo. But make sure you fly for at least 50 lipos after a change. Don't constantly change the settings as this slows down learning success. Find a setting that is good enough and then fly 50 lipos with it. I hope this helps..
@@jeffclassics Exactly! Nice!💪 The shapes don't have to be very precise in the beginning. The first thing is to develop fine motor skills and get to know the controls. The figures are only an approximate target. Oval shape instead a circle is perfectly fine in the beginning.. That`s normal..👍
@@BenjaminMeasures depending on the Heli. With a 700 yes, with a 150 or even Blade Nano, nah. Thing is, with a heli you have something you are able to see very good
@@BenjaminMeasures Personally, that's exactly how I learned it... first on a little quad, then on a helicopter. It is definitely the more efficient method if you don't want to repair. I heard the Goosky S1 is said to be very robust. But honestly a helicopter will never be as crash resistant as a tiny whoop. Not even the smallest helicopter...
@@P.Trick93 Kinda true, but you can modify your whoop to be able to see the front of the whoop. And the good thing about it is with the whoop that you learn not to focus too much on the visual but to always think and be aware of where the front is. And a whoop is definitely the more efficient method if you don't want to repair. I heard the Goosky S1 is said to be very robust.

Starkes video! Great vid! Thanks for your great effort bro 🙏👍
Thank you for your support my whoop friend! 🤜🤛 appreciate it
i'd asy that after experimenting with bigger quads your video helps out with the directions. thankyou:)

Great video. Beautiful to watch. I am new to FPV and still learning how to fly in acro. Would you recommend learning LOS flying at the same time?

Thanks master. I can’t figure how to do the 14:10. Also, as a beginner, any setting in betaflight that need to edit? Like thr limit, thanks

@@butterflyfpv today i feel good with the 1st set of drill. I tried the reverse, front towards me, i cant fly it more than 5seconds.
@@butterflyfpv thanks, the yaw roll pitch thr are all moving for that drill, somehow pulled it off with abnormal oval shapes
@@jeffclassics Nice!💪 Yes I now the nose in hover/flying is very hard in the beginning.. But you can do it! Take your time..

So u r a thumber, not a pitcher....
I can both.. but nowadays I prefer thumbs only because it is more relaxed..
Get a Heli
A beginner to LOS would be far better learning on a Quad. Can't hit the dirt with a Heli and carry on with practice.
@@BenjaminMeasures depending on the Heli. With a 700 yes, with a 150 or even Blade Nano, nah. Thing is, with a heli you have something you are able to see very good
