so ive been trying to nail the split s for like three weeks now and i keep either over-rotating or just completely bailing out and going into a panic throttle. im flying a 5inch on betaflight 4.4 with rates that feel okay for general flying but maybe thats the problem? my inputs are probably too twitchy when i flip. anyone gone through this phase and actually got past it

yeah honestly the split s took me forever too. what helped was slowing my roll rate down a bit specifically for the flip portion, like i actually lowered my acro trainer for a bit just to get the muscle memory right. also where you exit matters more than the flip itself ? you gotta be committed on the throttle dip before you even start the roll or it just looks messy. keep at it

are you doing it from a dive or level? i was trying to do it from too flat an angle and it just didnt work, felt wrong every time. someone told me to come in with more speed and it clicked pretty fast after that
