Failsafe with RC

Posted by AndrewP on June 6, 2010 at 2:43pm

Hey,

I'm an amateur RC pilot, and one thing that I'm worried about is not being able to pull out of something. I was wondering if it was possible for something to detect if the plane is going in to a dive or something like that, and automatically correct it by leveling it out.

Thanks,
Andrew

The Ardupilot has a stabilization mode that will level the plane if you let go if the sticks. It works incredibly well. So much that it can make flying in high winds a possibility.

Detect and correct automatically? Not really, how would it know that you were not intending to do that?

Correct the attitude if you (remember to) let go of the sticks, yes. http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/hobbyking-selling-2-and-4
