Throttle punches🚁 FPV Drone

Poor punch-out / weak power feel

The quad doesn't feel like it has the punch it should on a hard throttle input.

💡 The idea: Check the throttle curve and Anti-Gravity before assuming it's underpowered.

Try these in order

Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.

  1. 1
    Set/verify Hover Point

    Centers the throttle curve around actual hover % for better resolution (Betaflight throttle docs).

  2. 2
    Increase Anti-Gravity gain

    Boosts I-term specifically during throttle punches.

  3. 3
    Check motor_output_limit isn't capping power

    Betaflight docs explicitly warn against using throttle limit, which slows PID correction — use motor_output_limit instead.

Found what works? Save it as a Setup Sheet and compare it against your baseline, log the result in your Run Log, or dig deeper in the RC Wiki.
