0 Hello,
I bought a cetus pro kit in march.
I never had a drone before.
I fly in manual mode, inside my house.
During 2 months, i flight about 15 minutes (6 lipos) 4/5 Times a week. I practice about 25 hours on simulator, configured for a nano drone (31g).
And now, i Can hardly keep the drone in a Room, without touching anything. I manage to go up stairs or downstairs about half Time, and most of Time, i manage to go from one Room to another, but make a half round and Come back is difficult.
I found this is a bit pour after 2 months. How fast did you learn ?

121 Everyone’s learning curve is a bit different. Getting all of the stick time in that you can helps.
At this point I consider myself to be an “adequate” pilot. I fly in acro/manual mode outdoors, but if I’m flying a whoop inside I’ll still use angle mode. It doesn’t look like you can easily lower the camera angle on that quad, so something else to consider would be setting up a throttle limit, I’d suggest around 80%. You could also lower your rates.
Dangerous operations.
Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.

43 @OP, As stated, everyone is different. It will take you whatever it takes to get good skills. Some is related to mental makeup. But I do think you are limiting yourself by only flying indoors. Go outside and fly.
My guess, is flying with real life obstacles will increase your learning a lot. Also learning something new means repetition. So say you find a place to power loop and decide to practice flipping it, it might mean you have to do that 100 times to understand the repetition and build the muscle/brain memory to hit that trick all the time. All learning is repetition and regurgitating known facts. Very few can create new things.

0 Thanks for tour advices. I ve tried to fly outdoor, you re right, it s very different. I was in a field without a visual point to know how high i am, i need to fond a better spot.
Aldo there was a very little wind, but 33g is not enough to fight against this little wind.
I ll try and Terry over and over.
Bye

You might try and find a bando near you. Like an old abandoned warehouse or similar, then go fly there. Somewhere out of the wind, but complex enough to offer a challenge and the ability to switch over to acro mode. Having features to look at will help with the visual points.
In case you have no clue about bando's, this is essentially what you are looking for. Somewhere big and enclosed where you can concentrate on flying and ignore the weather.

When I watch these freestyle videos my hands itch to buy a freestyle drone and go somewhere.. I then go fly my tiny whoop and get back to reality of things lol But one day I'll get there for sure..
To the OP.. hang in there dude.(adding/reiterating what has been said already) Experiment with different rates, modes and throttle cuts, it might be one of those keeping you from improving faster. Keep in mind that flying a whoop indoors is not easy at all and it does take time to get good at it, but once you do, everything will be easier.
