1 05-Sep-2017, 06:19 PM (This post was last modified: 05-Sep-2017, 06:20 PM by SJWhiteley.) I have a 5" quad with Dys F4 FC and a 4-in-1 Esc. Everything works great; betaflight connection is good, with a few tweaks to the rates as I'm a complete novice (only a few weeks in).
However, learning to fly LOS (before I get an FPV setup) practicing, I cannot get the quad to do a yaw turn. Going forward with a bit of pitch, then adding some yaw, I expect the quad to start turning, but it continues in the same direction at the same angle; eventually sideways at 90 gegrees of yaw then backwards at 180, and so on.
I'm flying acro/roll mode, and headless is not enabled. I can't find a setting in Betaflight. Is there something I'm missing?
Any help appreciated.

34 You need to apply both yaw and roll to do a turn in acro mode.

EDIT; my bad, that does sound like the correct behaviour of yaw.
Flying: Talon 6S 6" 2407s 381g no bat, Martian 3, 5" 2205s sooo heavy + gopro session 5 573g AUW, Aurora 5" 2205s 280g no bat, Druckbaer 3" 1404s 172g AUW 3S 550, BQE Megapixel 2.5" 1107s 139g AUW 3S 550, BabyHawk R 2.5" 164g AUW 3S 550 (stock except microeagle, CRSF, 2.5" arms) and maybe 3 more, for now...

30 In self level modes, you would keep holding forward, and the quad would eventually turn when using yaw (well, more like drift, but it would change flight direction eventually).
In rate mode, you don't keep holding pitch forward to fly forward - instead, the quad keeps the last commanded angle. If you apply only yaw now, it will still stay at that angle, so you have to roll into the turn.

31 Here is another video that may help. I used this one as I was learning early on and it helped a lot for me.
I would actually recommend the entire FPV Academy series. They were very useful
