Nothing will self correct in manual mode. So if you move the right stick to the right the quad will move right but unlike a Camera drone you don’t hold the stick to the right to keep it moving right. If you keep holding it to the right like a camera drone it will just carry on until it rolls all the way over if you’ve got enough height you can roll it all the way round till its level again.
If you move the right stick up to pitch forward so the drone is about 20 degrees and let go the drone will fly forward. To slow it down pull the stick down until it levels back out and then re centre the stick.
Basically every move you make with the sticks (other than the throttle) you need to make the opposite to correct it again.

I was using it as a euphemism, the M&M advert.

Ahhhhh this also makes sense.
I suppose I have done the “DJI error” everyone does who has never flown FPV.
Makes me wonder if it would have been easier in the first place all those years ago to start FPV. Before I learnt to fly the easy way.
Suppose it’s like in the states.
Column to stick shift.

There is self level modes in FPV called Angle mode but just as you say above it gives you bad habits and actually makes it harder to learn to fly Acro. In angle mode the drone will self level like a camera drone it also has a max angle limit so no flippy floppys in angle mode. Throttle control is still manual though.

The manual mode on the DJI FPV has this enabled by default so it will not roll you have to disable it, only once but you have disable it.
Massive learning curve pal. Massive.
Right I need a small FPV. Tiny Hawk 2 I combo I was advised to get but they are out of stock. Haven’t the time to start building one. I know I am stuck at home but I have quite some big projects on at the mow.
Thanks for the help both of you I do appreciate it.
I WILL be asking more at at alter date. Let me get my head around this first.
As Billy Kyle says “Piece”

@DeanoG60 @speatuk Surely if you don’t adjust / remove the tensioners from the back of the remote, everything will still self-correct in manual mode? So if you don’t adjust the tensioners, M mode will be more similar to S mode and be easier for a non-FPVer to fly? (Just asking for a friend… 
)

It’s only the throttle that you don’t have self-centering. In “manual” or “rate” mode the other controls when they are centered it just means that you aren’t commanding any roll, yaw or ptich but the drone will still remain at whatever attitude it was in when you gave the last input.
The Dji drone isn’t quite the same as a full acro ship. Don’t remove the throttle spring!
Yeah Bardwell pointed out that if you remove the spring then it might cause you some difficulties when you switch back to any mode other than manual and it’s better to just ignore the spring while you’re flying in manual.
Cheers; replacement being delivered this morning “between 9:06 & 10:06”
2 hours for fking about with charging and firmware updates then should be good to finally get going…

@ianinlondon I can’t really comment on the DJI FPV drone and how it will react as I don’t have one. But a typical freestyle/race quad controller has no tension on the up and down axis of the left stick (throttle) all other axis are self centering. Hopefully you’ll get out and fly it this afternoon as I’m looking forward to your review and thoughts of dipping your toe into FPV 
I’ve tried it in the simulator and without removing the tension on the throttle it’s impossible to fly in manual.
So I would presume it would be the same in real life.
Anyway. I’m a long way off that yet. Out for a bit now as the sun is out.
@ianinlondon fingers crossed for you buddy.

It really could do with an electronic solenoid or something in the controller, so when in manual, there is no spring tension, and when in dji mode, it puts it back.

Just double checking; you have an I-phone? Can’t see the simulator for Android…
so imagine a noobie was testing for the first time as by the time they clocked the warning
