Thanks Michael, so before arming I should change to alt hold? Also, in the case of a fixed wing, it’s probably better not to map throttle to the joystick, because a plane cruising at 40% throttle will not be able to maintain air speed since it’s continuously being overridden by 50% joystick input. I realise one should not think of the joystick in the same way as a RC controller.
Plane will function correctly in Auto, FBWB, and CRUISE. It will fly at trim speed unless stick mixing is turned on, then you can boost the speed temporarily by pushing up the throttle. FBWA and STABILIZE will be a problem. If you rarely fly in those modes (which you shouldn’t without a proper RC controller) perhaps you can adjust the parameters by doing a careful Radio Calibration so that the plane flies safely at throttle mid.
Hi,
I couldn’t find any thing related to this (basically, arming is allowed with a transmitter with mid-throttle is default position) in the manual. Which part of the manual (or code) explains that arming in the middle throttle is allowed?
