Sendit drone3/1/2023 That dual stick cross coordination that needs to happen to turn starts to diminish. The higher you start to increase your camera angle, something starts to happen. If you have ever seen Joshua Bardwell’s videos where he talks about turning using cross coordination that when you turn to the left at a forward clip, you need to use a combination of yaw to the left on your left stick and roll to the left on your right stick (for mode 2 pilots). This means not just that you can fly faster, it means that you HAVE to fly faster to maintain a constant altitude at that angle. ![]() Now what else are you noticing as you increase this angle? The thrust that is pushing you up, is decreasing as the thrust pushing you forward increases. More thrust in this direction means you fly faster. As this angle increases, you have more thrust pushing you forward (fig2). When you pitch your quad forward, you are now adjusting that thrust to an angle that is between the angle of attack, (the angle you are moving), and the thrust vector which is still perpendicular to you. All your thrust is providing you with straight up lift. ![]() Because you have 4 motors all spinning in alternating rotations, your lift /thrust when hovering at a level angle is all angled in a straight up direction perpendicular to your quadcopter (fig1). Why does increasing your tilt allow you to fly faster? Well let’s take a moment to discuss the thrust and lift vectors of your quad copter.
