If one were to build a new vtol today what’s one of the more recommended platforms? I have a new Matek H743-Wing V3 FC in my parts box and am looking for a summer project.
Thanks!

I’m currently testing precision landing in SITL, trying to send landing targets using both MAVLink 1 and MAVLink 2 commands.
With MAVLink 2, Mission Planner gets ‘Target found’ and ‘Init Complete’ messages, keeps detecting until I stop.
However, when using MAVLink version 1, I consistently receive ‘Target Lost’ messages despite continuous command input. It intermittently reinitializes and fails again, sometimes it fails in initialization.
I’m seeking clarification on whether there are any limitations when using MAVLink 1 command.
@pramod it depends what frame you are sending. If sending MAV_FRAME_BODY_FRD then it needs some fields which are MAVLink2 extensions, so won’t work.
What example message fields are you sending?
Excuse me
I would like to ask the following questions
-
Does this Quadplane precision landing function support PIXY IRLOCK camera? Because I set it according to the website (Precision Landing and Loiter — Copter documentation), but did not get the expected effect.
And you need to change PLND_BUS to 3 to make the PL.Heal display value in the bin file be 1. The reason why it is set to 3 is the reference website (https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/pixhawk-4-with-irlock- no -communication/44290/5), but other records of PL in the bin file have no value.
*My PIXY IRLOCK camera is normal, and it can work normally with Arducopter -
I checked the contents of the bin file that successfully executed Quadplane precision landing. I found that its parameter PLND_TYPE uses MavLink1 as the communication protocol, so I guess whether the PIXY IRLOCK camera is not yet supported.
I would like to ask if the camera device used is XBLink Plus?
If not, which model of camera is it? -
I did enable the lua script, but the format information of PPLD has not appeared in the bin file. Is it because I don’t know where the PIXY IRLOCK camera is located?

Is Precision Landing Compatible with a 3-Motor Tiltrotor VTOL?
I’m trying to use precision landing on a 3-motor tiltrotor VTOL. I attempted to use the Lua script, but it didn’t seem to work as expected.
I’m using an OpenMV camera with a script that sends packets via MAVLink for landing. This script worked fine on a copter, but so far, I haven’t been able to get it to work on the VTOL.
Is precision landing officially supported for this type of VTOL configuration? Are there any specific parameters or modifications I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
yes, it will work with all quadplanes, it is not frame specific
if you post logs then I may be able to work out what is wrong
Hi,
I was also having the same issue using an OpenMV camera and a 3-Motor Tiltrotor VTOL setup. The OpenMV cam detects the target and sends landing_target message via Mavlink. During testing I was unable to see any real movement towards the target.
Looking at the telemetry logs I was also able to see that I got PrecLand init complete which threw me off even more.
All the best!

Hi,
I am having an issue using precision landing. I have a VTOL setup where precision Loiter works just fine. It indicates “Target Found” and follows the target correctly. For some reason when I try to complete a precision landing in an autonomous mission, the aircraft doesn’t have any real corrections/movement towards the landing target. It just goes straight down until it lands. I have tuned the prec landing parameters and can confirm that it is within range, and it seems this behavior is not due to this.
In this link I have added the log files ! Any help is appreciated.
