Lots of exciting additions to the aerobatics code - full trajectory following using quaternion navigation (no more gimbal lock), super simple maneuver definitions, and even simpler schedule assembly.
And of course the addition of dual formation aerobatics. Here we used two Yak 55 aircraft. Using a mesh network we pass progress along our defined path and in this way both aircraft remain in sync during the flight.
I am a tree-dodging freestyle/racing quad pilot who became friends with a couple of scale flyers and since then I added two planes to the stable.
Those scale flyers also fly competition, and I think I can use the autonomous aerobatics well to help them with training. Set up a course, have them play a game of follow-the-leader.
Watching 100 scale flights is a great way of learning how the schedule should look from the ground… you can of course change the optional maneuvers to suit your own models… The example scale schedule on github is a great place to start!
The dual aircraft option is built into plane_aerobatics.lua, and the only usage info (that I know of) is the description in this thread plus Tridge’s talk about it at around 3:52 in the presentation here: https://youtu.be/8yXhSpkEKkY?t=13922
Thanks a lot!!! Do you know which model of autopilot is the most recomended for the aerobatics? I´ve read somewhere that are the H7 or F7 based…

Trying to define more sequences, deciphering current stall turn to define figure M but difficult… Snaproll will need to define more binding, no idea on spin…
Yes, it needs more tuning. Roll tuning is most difficult for me, another setup I fly does better, can do rolling circule.
Here is another video, not mine but somebody posted a scripted aerobatics demo of the same sequence at regional F3A competition. His roll is better. Looks like it impressed competitors there.
