Tuning Procedure for generic Quadplane

ArduPlane
1

Hi,
I am making a quad plane with wingspan of 1.6 meter with maximum takeoff weight of 12Kg, running Arduplane 4.0.9 firmware . Since I am new to arduplane, I dont have any practical knowledge in quadplane tuning. Can anyone please suggest a procedure of method to tune it?

Are you sure about your 12kg target? It seems a lot for a 1.6m wingspan plane.

Hi,
I had a question: Is there a separate procedure to tune the VTOL motors and the normal control surfaces? Or doing just the VTOL tuning is sufficient for a quad-plane?

Was wondering how the control surfaces (aileron, elevator, etc.) will behave for the gains that were set for the VTOL motors.

Would like to learn more about this

Have you read the documentation?
