Arduplane Bicopter no throttle response in FBWA and Manual

ArduPlane Plane 4.7

Hello,

I’m developing an VTOL bicopter capable of transitioing into Fixed Wing flight. During ground testing, I have encountered an issue where whenever I switch from any of the Q_modes to the fixed wing modes, the throttle cuts off and I have no throttle control. However, I have throttle control in the Q modes. (Q_hover, loiter, stabilized). We do have an airspeed sensor.

IIRC during transition throttle is subject to automatic control unless switching to ACRO or MANUAL

Thanks for the reply! It appears I still don’t have throttle control in manual mode. But I can confirm automatic control when switching to FBWA. We are wanting to have the ability to takeoff in fixed wing flight but when arming in FBWA, there is no throttle control.
I have tried disabling the airspeed sensors for test bench scenario. But the FBWA are still doing some automatic control.

FBWA should automatically control throttle until transition completes or fails.

Can you post a .bin log file of the failed test?
