Dear DIY community,
I want to modify the APM code to do not stabilisation in roll axis. The goal is to control a two axis aircraft.
In fact I want to correct the yaw error with the rudder and I want to correct the pitch erro with the elevator (normal configuration).
Can you help me on the code modification ?
Thank you for your help.
My configuration is : APM 2.5 + ublox GPS + 3DR radio
(currently used on HK bixler 2)

Hi,
I had the same question some time back and I had a very good answer. I never implemented it though ...

except that I wanted the plane to stabilize on roll but just stabilize. Stay level. Steering the plane should be done on the rudder.
The current code is very focused on "coordinated turns", where the local lateral forces in the turn are zero. That is more comfortable for the people on board the UAV (dilemma?) and it is meant to be energy efficient too.
But it could definitely be cool to have a stay-level-and-navigate option.
