Been around this hobby for about 5 years but let's be real — it hasn't been 5 years of consistent flying. More like 6-7 month bursts of passion and then burnout, rinse and repeat. This year though I've really been locking in. I have an addictive personality and once I'm in, I'm ALL in — but that same personality makes burnout hit hard when it comes. Also the finances to tank because you buy another drone lol you don't need.
Real life flying has been clicking more and more, and now the simulator is finally starting to mirror that. Feeling fast, feeling flow, and the progress feels real for the first time in a long time.
Recent breakthrough:
Fixed my throttle drop issue by raising mid throttle to 55. Small tweak, massive difference.
Current struggles:
Yaw paralysis — I know yaw is supposed to help you level out and pull through turns but I can't execute it cleanly. When I yaw into a turn I swing wide instead of tracking through it. Coming in too fast makes it worse. I just can't get my brain and hands to agree on that small subtle yaw adjustment to point where I'm going. I overcorrect, or I freeze completely. Five years in and this is still my wall.
Yank and banks — Trying to use them for speed but struggling to execute them cleanly and consistently.
Anyone else been on this kind of on-and-off journey? How did you finally get the yaw to click?
