    I really can't overstate how portable and valuable that one piece of advice is in there, I picked it up from the same source: Keep in view the things you're maneuvering around. Slaloms, Powerloops, Dives, Split-S - if you can keep it in view you'll always be able to go very fast. May not be the fastest, but it's never the slowest or crashiest.

    I do hope you can make a video addressing risk vs. reward on tracks - and your approach to where taking risks to make up time versus flying at 8-9 tenths makes more sense. There are so many examples of you doing that well, I think by the time DRL season airs there will be a fair bit of interest in that. I still can't get over how precise and coordinated those reflex moves and minor adjustments are - time on the sticks + talent.

    Thanks, please do more of those vids, maybe slow down a bit, the explanations I mean. What I have difficult to learn in acro with the sim is the pitch quantity and the roll. Maybe you can do also one on how to tune the quad in the fpv (free rider...?) app? And other tips and tricks, yeah, also for freestyle, and maybe something for someone a bit more slower that you, between things I mean. Slalom is the hardest thing for me to do in acro on the sim. Acrobatic manouvres and free flights are so easier in confront... And yep do more slow motion parts. happy flying

    I'm more interested in how you do it. You definitely don't slow down when approaching a slalom. You go full throttle, minimize distance travelled, get as close to the flags as you can, turn early, and then get the perfect angle on exit to line up with the next gate. What else do you do to get through a slalom as fast as possible? Beginner tips have their place but everybody can fly a slalom slowly.

    i think what he meant was when you are first learning, go in slow so you can do it correctly. once you master that you can go faster and faster until you can go full speed

    Could you do one on an upward and downward sloping tunnel (quickest way) look like your staying as close to the flags as you can to decrease your turning radius ~ faster because physics

    Interesting I was flying the other day and was actually thinking more about this and I'm glad you made a video. I'm lucky that my neighbor has trees that are natural flags so speaking of land objects I'm blessed with always having these and especially limiting my altitude. how do you think your pitch changes typically when going through, more on your tail, more pitching forward or neutral compared to normal flying angle? check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGl6lrifc7HYc5c.html

    I find that the forward pitch is dependent on the spacing of the slalom elements - if it's something I can take fast, I find that nosing forward and leaning on roll to get it done works really well, with relatively smoother throttle input. On tighter or more lateral displacement slalom elements (i.e. you have to move side to side more than a flag fabric width), then that 'on the tail' feel with more pronounced throttle blips is something I have to employ.

    This is sometimes called hybrid grip.
