Anyone else get lost on orientation while flying quads?  Any tips outside of stop, hover, move stick one way? 

 

Kinda diggin on the ping pong ball strung out on the front idea.  Pros/cons?

I have leds on a single side of my quad (the back). When i loose orientation, i quickly hit the rudder until the leds are facing me. That way you're only ever 180 degrees or less from reorientation.

Since you can yaw in place (if you're moving slowly/hovering), its easier than trying to use pitch/roll to find out which way you're facing.
