Greetings,
I am at the stage where my plane is well tuned and I want to begin experimenting with Takeoff and Landing sequences. I can't find any good descriptions of how these commands should be setup for use with a plane.
Could someone please post a sample mission file with an explanation of how the commands work, including any variables I might need to consider.
Currently I'm using Arduplane v2.74b and have the most recent Mission Planner v1.2.78.
Regards,
Nathaniel ~KD2DEY

1. Take off => make normal wp by clicking in planner, then change type to TAKEOFF (or use "add below" button) as a first WP, the add next WP's. In takeoff type WP you have 2 parameters: one is pitch (I am using 10-15 degree) and alti - my is 75m). In advanced parameters you have also set of takeoff's parameters: acc, speed, delay, - my (for catapult) is acc=1, others = 0 (for handlaunch - acc=1.5, delay=0,2 sec)
2. Landing - after last normal wp - plane should be in landing direction. Make normal wp with alt=approx 10m at the beginning of runway (or few meters before its start), then next one after several meters with alt=1-2m, then "add below" wp type LAND (no additional params). In adv parameters menu you have 3 params for landing: time, alt and pitch - time (my is 3 sec) = time to stop engine before reaching land point, alt (my is 3m) is alt for stop motor, pitch - (my is 8 deg) is pitch of the plane after motor is stoppled and plane is flying as a glider . Alt and time params for landing are used on "first-to-come" basis.
