Does anyone know if it is possible to create a flight mode for ArduPlane to prop hang. I am currently using a 3d acrobatic plane to work out any bugs etc before moving to a more UAV style plane. My idea is if it possible to set up a flight mode "hover". the plane would harrier then hover or prop hang at the set gps and alt.
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Any work on this lately? Seems like it would be a relatively light and non-mechanically-complex alternative to tilt rotors and the like. Though... weight would be more limited, so maybe not a heavy duty uav, but I still like the idea.
I know APM Copter supports conventional helicopters, but does it with a pixhawk enable them to do 3D aerobatics sequences like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZefZcDDFyik
It is not available but it is certainly possible to develop it. I had it working once with a home made flight controller.
If it has to hover using height control and navigation, you will have to write more than just a little code; it will be a combination of features from ArduPlane and ArduCopter.

Has anyone done this?
