Hey Everyone,
I am new to the forums and I need help with my plane’s tracking. I setup a survey grid and every time my plane (delta style) it will fly right of the waypoint path. Is there some type of GPS offset I am not aware of?
Thanks
It’s a common issue caused by the motor torque, or slipstream causing the plane to fly in a slip. Arduplane doesn’t know how to deal with this. I never heard of it happening on a flying wing. Adding tons of rudder trim is a work around but you don’t have a rudder, right?.
Try a flight plan with climb, and a descent. Then you can confirm that the offset is correlat to throttle setting.
Do some searches with my handle iskess and “offset” and “rudder” and you will find many past discussions.
No I don’t have a rudder just elevons. I thought it may be motor torque but I don’t have any ideas on how to counter-act it.
Thanks for your quick response.
