Large (300 lb) Stopped Rotor fixed wing VTOL. Configuration is similar to a quad copter for takeoff. Tail mounted tilt-rotors operate together in vertical orientation; thrusters are mounted on the tips of the horizontal stabilizers. Main Wingtip mounted large diameter rotors are configured as rotor blades. After VTOL takeoff Tail rotors tilt to horizontal to generate forward velocity. When stall speed is exceeded, wingtip mounted rotors are stopped and repositioned to an extended “V-wing” configuration and act as ailerons in cruise flight. My question is; can Ardupilot be modified to signal the wingtip motors to stop and then signal the wingtip motors to reposition the rotor blades?
Thanks,

Can you post a diagram of the setup?
It sounds like it would be hard due to two step transition.
You could consider drehmFlight as it has significantly smaller code base that will be easier to get into.
