Trouble flying circles

[morph000]

Don't laugh !
Don't know if it's me, lack of experience or if it's just normal and I expect too much.
If trying to fly say a 10m diameter circle it's anything but a perfect circle.
More like I've had a few to drink beforehand :mrgreen:
I'm only using right stick, no left.
If I introduce some yaw that helps a lot.
So how close can you expect to get to a perfect circle ?
Can one do a say 3 or 4m diameter circle or is that too tight?
When doing circles I notice a bit of yaw creeping in too, maybe 10-15 degrees. Is that normal too?
Apart from that, straight line flying, boxes, ascent,descent all fine.

99.05% accurate circle. See the results here.

Here is a video where some indicates how you can use homelock feature to fly in a circle. I am not positive this actually works.

Practice makes for perfect circles.

That circle trick with home lock never worked for me, it just keeps going left or right

Getting it done is more challenging than you think!

heh. yeah..

Looks to me like they're flying circles overhead !?

I'm flying circles out in front of me like 2m above ground.
Bit of difference...depth perception issues rule

Use both left and right stick.
Try when it hover, to push left stick a Little to the right or left, to it spins slowly, and keep it there, then push right stick forward and it will cirkle.
Only practice waiting

Like I say - both sticks is easy, but I need a frame of reference here.

ie how good and how tight a circle can one fly around a football field goal post ?

I think you will find that left stick left and right stick right will get you the circle you want. That should be counter-clockwise, or anti-clockwise for other Countries. Or, left stick right and right stick left will get you clockwise. It takes practice.
With this method I got within 4 feet of my flagpole on only the second attempt.

Practice practice practice !

Practice practice practice !

yeah,yeah,yeah :mrgreen:
BUT.. can anyone fly a perfect 6" diameter circle ? NO !
I seek a frame of reference. What can be achieved, for there is no point in trying to achieve that which cannot.

I can fly a pretty good 0" diameter circle...

I am still trying to master flying in a circle, I saw a good video on the subject on here or you tube and the guy used a piece of card on the left stick, yaw I think, any of you guys got the link to the video, or something similar..
