Dimitri replied to josh fivecoat's discussion Tuning acro mode for fpv
"Thanks for clarifying, that made a ton of sense actually! So if/when acro runs in the body frame it should be possible to 360 around both axes ? I personally like the way mwc works in acro, it feels as if its always retains its angle really well esp…"
