Neat little trick to recover orientation during LOS

[Andy7]

Stumbled on this nice little trick to help bring a quad back if it gets too far away to see what your orientation is when flying LOS.

Basically, just pith forwards a little, watch whether it seems to me going left or right then just turn in the same direction. It';ll then just circle back to you. 

Will add to my bag of panic tricks!

Very similar to my strategy,  I do left / right pitch first and if it doesn';t go either way then backwards / forwards; the important thing to remember is to add more of the direction it';s going until it starts to go the opposite way then do the same again until you get back where you can see the orientation. As I only fly los it';s become second nature to me so is no longer a panic reaction.

I find the RTH switch works well in these situations.

The problem.with rth is you never learn to deal with the issue in the first place (a mistake I made in the first few weeks).

Once I started flying planks I had to learn to deal with orientation.PDQ

And if for some unknown reason it decides not to work???
