So I for one am new to this hobby. I've built a Zmr 250 and am attempting to teach myself to fly FPV. Line of sight is simple enough to get basics but once the goggles are on for the first few times things get a bit chaotic. I'm trying to come up with some training exercises to learn better control. How did you learn? Any tips or tricks you wanna share?
Great question. I see you mentioned you're new to this, have you had enough time to practice non-FPV flight with your ZMR? It is a pretty lively machine and it always helps to understand what amount of stick input is needed for a "non-chaotic" flight. When I was learning FPV flight, I actually did that with my DJI 450 and Naza-1 GPS - it is more docile machine and the GPS feature allows me to let go of the sticks and "park" the copter in the air when things get a little chaotic.
I'd recommend finding an open area that you're familiar with (field, park). Try finding a maintained field where the grass is not too tall and the copter is easier to find.
I am not sure what flight controller you use, but if it has self leveling feature or a mode that prevents the copter from flipping, use it for now.
Set up exponential travel in your controller to keep the stick input less sensitive.
Start with easy roll and pitch maneuvers, then introduce yaw. Erick also covers some great FPV flying tips in the Blade Mach 25 review segment of our
