UTC2350 - Plane: added systemID as an aux function by tridge · Pull Request #29237 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- System-id as an aux function

- IMU is filtered IMU
- Do we really need it this fast?
- Should not be this heavy when not doing raw etc
- RATE is 5.8%

- Will test in h-wing in realflight
- Test twitchiness
- Want this in beta5, so tridge will test today
