So cool Airguardian I am curious if its possible and if you think it would help to have a switch for more expo while flying in close proximity? That seems to be the hurdle of formation flight, getting close and staying close.

I have three flight modes with different rates and expo on this jet, thought precisely to be able to make formation flight with more precission... that said, the flights shown here were conducted entirely on my typical acro setting with the highest rates.
Extra expo and limited throws do help in formation flying, that much is obvious and I have practical experience with it.
But most important of all is to make sure that both jets track as straight as possible, which is a combination of aircraft setup, weather conditions and pilot skill. ;)
Gyro stabilization would help too... will get there eventually!
Haven't yet properly tuned the settings of my FC to use stabilization the way it is meant to be used.
(So I am flying unstabilized so far).

A small daydream on my part:
I've heard about but have not seen quadcopter drones 'synched' up to fly patterns together. I have to imagine, an engineer will/can develop some sort of proximity lock on device that would enable formation flight. With an active lead and a temporarily passive wingman. And then disengage as needed. There must be a way to do this, maybe it's not possible or available in the market at the moment or cost prohibitive for hobbyists. It's something I've thought about a few times, so perhaps someday.
Either way, your video/flying is very cool! It looks super fun.
What is the FPV system you are using? The Hud display looks great! Is it a Matek system?

Hello to all! I bought one of those beauty some 3 months ago and I would like to thank you Airguardian, during the delivery time I watched a lot your video on how to improve that beast and tried to follow your advices the best I can. Didn't allowed me not to crash her twice at firsts try but she's still flying great now!2 Photos

I now use larger packs and turned down the rates for takeoff. Problem solved

Slow-mo version of the previous video:

I crashed a few by stalling on takeoff too. Same exact break points. A little balsa filler, clear coat, and paint will get it back to new.

Here are some post crash picture. I also had the main gear cutted in half, I had to temporarily adapt my fulcrum ones waiting for original replacement.3 Photos

Hope your next jet is free from these problems! :)

Originally posted by Airguardian View PostYour batteries were probably not very good. I use 2S 610mAh on my jets and have no issues.
That said, I typically only pull 2 flights out of each before replacing, 3 at most.
What brand were you using?
Their 'C' labeling was probably fiction and that's why you had problems.
Also I use a satellite rx with the admiral rx1000 dsmx receiver.
