Questions before I try

Posted by Edgar Scott on September 28, 2013 at 1:04pm

Hi guys, I read over the Wiki and am excited to try this with my GS3 :)

But I have a safety question or 2 before I dive in.

I read, BETA Turn your Tx On, so Ill do that

I have a 3 toggle sw set to STABILIZE|AUTO|LAND

First test with AndroPilot I want to do something simple.

Take off, loiter @2Meters(~6 feet) for 30 sec then land.

My question is, if I upload the plan first via PC Mission Planner

Then I can run it from the Auto, but what do I put my Tx in?  Should it be in Stabilize?

How would I take over with the Tx say if I had a fly away etc?  If I just jump on the Tx would it take over?

Thanks, Ed,

    Isn't there a way to skip that throttle raising step before doing a goto or a take off ?

    I mean,  changing THR_MIN from 0 to 100 so that engines starts a little when arming ?

    Wouldn't that do the trick ? 

    Could anyone confirm please ? Thank you
