I'm having trouble with a couple scenarios where I want to zigzag. One of two gates that are slightly offset, another is approaching a gap where I'm not quite lined up right.

Coming from fixed wing, I would use rudder. But I'm not sure what the best movement is for a quad.

Would you start with yaw, and coordinate with a little roll, similar to a regular coordinated turn? Or just do a quick roll and back?

Thanks for any tips about how you'd accomplish the movement or practice it!

For small zigzags like this, I just use roll. Keep yaw pointed at the general direction of travel.
