Great vid. Don't apologize for making a long video. As a beginner, I'd rather have a video that is twice as long but covers every single step (like yours does) than having you rush and skip over important steps, or assume we know anything (we don't... yet, but we're learning thanks to you. You rock!

[CMStrong]

I like how you do everything in one go. No cuts, no edits, or remissions. Gives sense of humanity and displays how passionate you are about the field that you can educate for 20 minutes without breaks. Also builds validity, I believe everything you say is in fact unbiased and in the consumer's best interest. Thanks!

[SkyCamProduction]

Thanks dude! I can't believe how much of a difference this just made!! Give me a few weeks and I will be flying like "Mr. Steele" lol Seriously though, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. You are the man!

[ClaudioBOsorio]

Mr. Steele has so much knowledge that he speaks very fast with confidence and almost loses his breath while trying to convey so much information. I love it. You remind me of myself except that I do not know anything about FPV (until now). Great work. Keep it up. I'll check out your channel for more tutorials. I think you could make the same thing every year just with an update based on what's in the market, prices, new things etc. Blessings

You’ve been an inspiration. About a week ago I jumped into this new adventure. Took your advice and bought myself a FRSkyTrananis. I downloaded the Sim. I quickly realized how absolutely terrible I am. By the end of the day I utilized not just yours but Velocidrones YouTube channel on starting out. My first day was hitting pylons and flying rough 5 miles in the air on a constant basis. I was at the lowest setting as possible to allow myself to fly a literal boat as slow as possible. Within one week I have turned my camera angle from a 20 to now 35. All my settings are now what yours are on this video. I have since graduated from an open field pylons to Prodangles pylon race. Literally a bunch of rocks with a bunch of pylons. And a couple trees which I have it LOL. But it is teaching me how to hit the gaps and tight corners. I make it even interesting by once hitting the finish line and then going in reverse. I’m currently down to about two laps without crashing the drone on a semi constant basis. I’m now able to going at a moderate 20 to 30 miles an hour throughout the entire course.
Thank you again for all the tips. I believe what I’m gonna do is build my first drone that way I understand how it works. I am mechanically inclined which does help out a little bit. But one of your friends showed me a video on how to solder, which is one of my downfalls. So wish me luck and see you in the sky

[ijmbcm]

You are absolutely right. I started last year maybe October with the Taranis QX7 and Liftoff/Freerider. Didn't know about Velocidrone back then. Then Goggles and hook them up to simulator if possible that helped me also. The Acrobee was not only fun but very good for learning. It took a while to get the tools and components to build my first quad. Then of course I crashed it ...but I knew how to fix it ....At this time I now can fly full acro and not break anything on my 210mm quad. So don't give up. Thanks to Mr Steele, Joshua Bardwell, Ledrib, Andy RC, FPV academy, and Curry Kitten...to name a few. Lot of good information out there. And I am in my late 50's. So you can do it if you keep at it. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[retrodudefpv]

WOW, WOW and more WOW. Seriously you are understating how brilliant your setup is. After 18 hours on lift-off I got the basics. Velocidrone at your settings is VASTLY superior. Thank you so much. Worth every penny to purchase if serious about wanting to fly. Can't wait for next episode

[dhoyda]

As someone who doesn't need these videos I still enjoyed watching it. Loving the Velocidrone settings, nicely done Steele.

[sharkey]

Thank you a million times over, Mr. Steele. Excellent, updated, to the point information presented from a real life experienced, professional pilot. I’ve said it before. Every time I think, Mr. Steele has done everything physically possible with an RC Quad, He somehow, continues to surprise me and this time, “ Stoned two birds with one bush?” has also INSPIRED Me to dust My SHARKS off and get back to practicing.Thank you again Mr. Steele
Cheers 👍👍

[bernhard]

I wish someone would do a full detail quad setup video. Not just building one but all the settings for the rtx, vtx and osd and all that stuff💙💙💙 these longer videos are perfect, it means there is more detail. And we can always use more details🤘💙

[drethedroneguy]

I’m finallyyy getting into fpv and have been watching you for years. Thank you for everything you post man. Such a big help for noobies like me. You’re the truth. I’ve been flying sim for about 3 months now and about to take the plunge with goggles and a quad. Can’t wait to be up.

[Franksdad_deanmartinonrepeat]

I️ just got a qx7 and you missed a few crucial parts, but I️ know there’s a lot of info to get into the vid. A few things for those who just got the qx7: 1) I️t doesn’t come with a battery so you’ll either have to go broke using AA’s or get a lipo like most people. I️ got rechargeable AA’s and they’re working awesome. 2) The throttle centers when you get I️t new, so you’ll have to take the four screws out of the back and disable that spring.

Check out project blue falcon’s playlist for a complete set up of the qx7, it’s awesome.

Love you, Steele :, )

[dcsmith]

Thank-you for doing this series. I know everyone likes the flight videos, but there can never be too much info on the basics.Winter here in the northeast is a great time for sims.

[traidenmx]

I'm not sure you took a single breath that whole video. You packed a ton of good info into a short amount of time. Thanks! I look forward to part 3.

[JonHosford]

Taking it one step farther, I then feed computer hdmi out to my goggles and fly with them on just like "real life". I found it prepared me a little better than watching a monitor. I did quickly realize I needed to map a couple of switches for common things you need on the keyboard though. That keeps me from having to take the goggles on and off a bunch to just hit the keyboard for reset and such.

[NukeFPV]

Thanks so much for this. As a newbie, we are often left in the dark by experienced pilot that have long forgotten what it's like to know nothing about the basics. This tutorial will avoid us developing bad habits by learning in an unrealistic way, and then having to re-train muscle memory etc when starting all over again with a kwad irl. Thanks :) Nice fairy lights btw ;)

[MrMarcosyMrsLaura]

Thanks Steele for the useful info!
You deserve real commendation for this series.

[name]

Thanks again for this setup! Flew for the first time in real life yesterday and it felt exactly like your Sim setup. This and all your other videos prepared me perfectly for my first flight. 🙏

[adrenalinefilmspr]

Im From Puerto Rico. Im following your tutorials step by step and its working out. I Bought the FrSky 7x Q and now im Practicing on velocidrone. Yesterday I DIDN'T even know hoy to make a Turn. Today Im flying better.

[muzzaball]

Thanks Mr Steele - another quality vid. I wonder if those who disliked have SEEN what you are capable of in the real world.
I am sure that if they have seen some of ur actual flight vids, then they would respect that you really are coming from a position of authority,
and what you are saying and suggesting is the best way for a noob to approach drone flight in the best way possible.
Thanks for taking the time to add to the FPV drone community.
