Limit throttle?
#1
Alright everyone has helped me out along way here and my drone turns on and flys but i ended up crashing really bad multiple times. The throttle is just too dam sensitive! How do you adjust that? Like if i just hardly go up the drone just flys 30’ up in the sky and i cant control it. Isnt there away to tone it down abit so i can learn how to fly like a pair of training wheels ??

Im working with 6s 1500mah lipo thats 110c

I think my mistake was getting a 110c?

The C rating of a LiPo has no relevance to the how powerful the quad will be. That is just the maximum current draw then can be sustained by a LiPo if the motors demand it. Current is drawn by the motors as the RPM and load increases. It is voltage and motor KV that will determine how powerful a quad is. All-up-weight (AUW) of the quad will also play a factor in how powerful it "feels".

The way to tame a quad via hardware is by either using a lower voltage LiPo (i.e. 4S) and/or lower KV motors.

You can alternatively limit the throttle in software by running the following commands in the Betaflight Configurator CLI...

Code:
set throttle_limit_type = scale
set throttle_limit_percent = 80
save

You can change the percentage to any value you desire. A value of 100 is the default.

I know this isn't what you asked, but I would also recommend getting a sim like Velocidrone and using your transmitter plugged into your PC to practice.

I blew off that suggestion when I started and jumped right into the deep end like you with a 6s quad and taught myself. After flying for a while I finally got Velocidrone and I have noticed my confidence and piloting skills shoot up after putting in 20min a day on Velocidrone. There are other sims, some with better graphics but I picked Velocidrone because I was told it is the most realistic as far as flight physics. Using the same transmitter as I fly with, and setting the game quad to have the same degrees-per-second rates as my real life quad has in BetaFlight I use the sim just to practice basic things like throttle control, as well as build up more muscle memory. It also allows me to practice a move that I would be too scared to risk my quad doing in real life.

Now I can fly just by 'feel' or muscle memory without ever even thinking about what my fingers/sticks are doing. I can do flight moves that I couldn't even explain how to do, because it is just experience / muscle memory I build up in the simulator. When I started on it I could barely make it around even a level 1 training track. Now i'm ripping through the level 4/5 track shaving time off each day.

I flew in real life (badly) for probably 6-9 months before I got the sim, and I wish I would have done it sooner. It really is a great way to practice. And you can practice flying anytime, even if you only have 10 mins free. Can't do that with a quad in real life.

Forgot to mention the Sim I use is only $20, and I guarantee you it has saved me more than that in repairs I didn't have to make because my experience gained in the sim allow me to recover where I otherwise would have crashed.
