Figure 8 or Rolling circle?

Dear all,

Today, I tried acrobatics with lua scripts in Arduplane.

I used the sample here.

I tried 14 Scale Figure Eight.
Here are the results.
Test Flight

WayPointData

Flash Data

But isn’t this result a rolling circle, not Figure 8?

Looks like you have set mission SCRIPT_TIME args incorrectly, off by one.

Interesting. Plot3D does show it is trying crazy rolling circle, actually it is making 4500 degree roll. I was able to reproduce this in SITL+RF.

Good to see more challenging scripted aerobatics!

I realised today that I have the wrong settings.
I thought it was to specify the bank angle in centidegrees as well as the full parameter setting.

I set it 30 degree, and it succeeded.
