We’ve had several very successful flights of the AddictionX now, with hover, transition etc, just like in the simulator. It works! It has now been pushed to master.
We’ll upload some videos soon, just not enough bandwidth here at the moment.
We’ve also fitted it with LEDs now, and will be hoving it in a night flight tonight.
Cheers, Tridge

sounds like you have a good time! might try this for an evening of SITL fun. bravo! i love this shit 
I’ve pushed the tailsitter support to master now after another evening of fun testing it. We put LEDs on the AddictionX and flew at night, great fun!

Darrell Burkey from CanberraUAV caught some nice shots of the AddictionX flying 3D with ArduPilot on the weekend. A bit of it was Paul Riseborough in manual, the bit at the end is ArduPilot flying it in QLOITER mode in quite a strong wind.

Open gates for so much more possibilities. Thanks Tridge.
Can we use Flight Axis Link with realflight 7.5???
If yes where could we find Flightaxis link Code…???
will be highly thankful if helped.
Helloo!
Nice project tridge! I’m also doing some scool project and i have to built tailsitter/3d hoover plane. Single engine RC plane, same as you have in youtube video.
My question, can i see somewhere the full tailsitter code you showed in video? This would be so helpful to me!

This question was answered in GitHub.
What is the earliest software where tailsitter is included?
ArduPlane VX.XX ?
Thanks you 
The GitHub change log will tell you, if you really want to know, but it doesn’t really matter - I suggest just using latest stable. The code is always improving, particularly with regard to newer features.
If you’re really asking whether it is available in the builds for the apm2.x boards: no, it isn’t.
I managed to find only date when changes are made, but exactly firmware nur can i also find someplace?
And if i have APM 2.8 then it means i cannot build single engine tailsitter plane? 
Thank you
Firmware is at firmware.ardupilot.org
No, the vtol fixed wing code is not available for the apm2.x boards. We stopped supporting those several years ago.
Thank you James, but if i want to make one engine tailsitter, what controll board i have to buy. I’m newbi at this but i have a great wish to built one of these Thank you so much James
A Pixhawk, flavour of your choice.
Thank you, now i have Pixhawk 2 and RealFlight 7.5. When i download newest VTOL firmware, is it possible to try that in Realflight in somehow, to see is it really works? How i upload firmware to simulator, do i need Mission Planner or something?
Very big Thanks
Info on RealFlight simulation is here: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/sitl-with-realflight.html

On the tutorial, everywhere are RF8, i hope this is possible to try in RF7 or 7.5 also?
The RF7.5 FlightAxis binary was never released to the public.
But it’s well worth the $99 to buy RF8. It’s available as a digital download on Steam and works with any Windows joystick, in addition to the RealFlight controllers.

Okei, so i guess when Mr.Tridge used this in video, he used his own FlightAxis binary? In video i can see there are RF 7.5 or do i have to go to an eye doctor
I need to test VTOL software, iwant to build same plane. I guess if i build one and download firmware, then is this firmware like i say plub and play or do i have to change many things? And also how important is plane measurements, if i use same plane like Tridge, then it’s okei i guess. But if i build my own, then how difficult is to get working firmware to my plane?
Sorry, if dumb question, i’m totally newbie right now, but learning
