Managed to get four flights in today with the CL84. So huzaaahh.
The first flight was fairly successful. Started in qstabilse and entered qloiter. The aircraft flipped but no damage was caused. Put it down to this Pixhawk Stabilize=OK, Loiter= flip/crash at takeoff
The second flight was better. Again started in qstabilse and entered qloiter. Attempted to transition into FBWA but the aircraft went into a spiral dive and never recovered.
Luckily the damage wasnt too severe (one of benefits of having as wet ground as you do in Scotland) When reading the docs in more detail we dialed back ARSPD_FBW_MIN and Q_TRANSITION_MS.
Third flight was attempted and we fully managed to transition and land successfully. This was a good overall flight but noted that FBWA had an enormous turning circle.
Forth flight we attempted to autotune the CL84 craft but never fully got there and ran out of lipos.
I think we can manage to get the aircraft flying in fixed wing smoother by modifying roll and pitch angles allowed in the autopilot and with further autotuning.
However the transition is still pretty questionable. Anyone got advice on how to tune the transition so it’s smoother?
