Transition mode for tilt rotor plane

ArduPlane VTOL Plane
1

Hello

I’m making tilt-quadplanes with all four motors tilting. To accelerate the plane during the transition from VTOL mode to Plane mode, I need some kind of transition mode that keeps motor angle 75-90 degree to accelerate. Is there any way that I can do that?
Any reply helps. Thank you.

Regards,
Koki

Hi,

just look at the documentation for VTOL planes. It is all described there.
in a manual transition you can control the angle with your throttle stick.

Hi,

Thank you for the information. I’m still reading but it seems there’s no option for auto mission for non-vectored yaw aircraft. Is there any way to do that?

Hello Koki,

did it work probably? I’m also constructing a VTOL with 4 motors tilting and have still difficultis. Can you share your parameter file?

Thanks Oliver

I would make the vital transition to 2 front motors only. And then once the motors turn off automatically in the back, have a switch for extra thrust. If that’s your reason for using all 4, because most people want to cut the 2 motors off to save energy, increase battery flight time.
