Pitot tubes and Loiter

 

Would it be possible and interesting to use two pitot tubes making a 90° angle to detect wind direction for Loiter and Navigation corrections ?

 

The actual Auto and Loiter modes seems to have some difficulties to keep the right position when there is a small wind. (tested with 2.0.45)

    45 was not so great for loiter. a couple of things contributed to that. but these have been fixed in 46.

    I like the idea, but Pitot tubs are a pain. Optical flow is the way forward.

    I think that would be very hard to calibrate. Better to do it in software (as we do on ArduPlane)
