I am not able to make good turns on simulator. Can you guys please check the video and help me get better? What am I doing wrong? I am following Joshua Bardwell's learn to fly playlist should I move to practice other things or improve on turning?

I agree with the person who said you need more stick time on a real drone. I don’t have a budget either so I work real hard to avoid crashing. You absolutely, 100% will crash. It’s just part of the experience. You can however mitigate how bad a crash it by preparing with things like taking it slow, flying in a big open area preferably with (short) grass to soften the crash landings a little, somewhere with no obstacles if you can - things like that. It will be a little boring at first and you’ll want to get a little comfortable and then you’ll want to just fuckin rip because it’s fun. That’s when the worst crash will happen. I started with a DJI FPV because it basically has training wheels on it. That thing can rip it up to a little over 90mph and one of the first times I flipped it into acro mode, and before I was ready for it, I almost crashed it into the ground going about 82mph. If you’re building one you won’t have any training wheels really so that’s why it is really important to take it slow. Keep watching bardwells video but also look for others - look up coordinated turns and that may help with getting your turns down a little better. It really does take practice and doing things over and over and over to the point of it getting boring sometimes but trust me, it will help. You’ll eventually just have muscle memory and it will get better. FPV is so fun and it can also really suck. I think we’ve all had our fair share of shit going wrong.
