"Your log show STABILIZE and LAND modes.
Stabilize do not use Sonar because it does not control altitude. it's direct throttle control, that's why the copter behaves as you describe.
You should try Alt_hold, loiter or poshold flight modes
"Hi ben, thaks for reply.
I did a quick test with Agisoft trial some weeks ago, with just 90 images of a 5 hectare area, with no GPS geotag.
And the software was able to make a 3D model of the zone, not very accurate due to few raw data but the…"
"Not very safe, I thought they would at least retain the fillet and release it once on the ground.
Even if the huntscopter has not enough payload to retain completelly, as least it can lower the fall. once descent terminated, release the cable...…"
"Love it, well done!!!
Standard copter are so ugly, common and uninteresting... your design brings a real interest in flying it even if performances are less."
"Great hardware, sounds promising!
Would be even better if the I/O could be more standart and allow integration of your board in any copter. Escially the RCOUT PWM for ESC instead of embedded ESC."
"not tilt compensated, short range, easily disturbed... that solution is basically the easiest one we could find and obviously not the best, pretty useless imo."
"Interesting and compact design, just some thoughts:
- the battery and ESC inside the tube will heat more, that could be an issue
- the arm with the battery opening will be weaker
- need to replace several batteries for example if used this concept…"
"Thanks Emile and Roberto for details.
I can't believe a safety rule requires to stop the power in flight! I would have thought of a controlled or even uncontrolled landing (by reducing the throttle) but not just switching it off... more dangerous…"
"@Phanivyas,
That fix is just a timer adjustment that was too low for PixHawk but good for APM. As pixHawk is running 4 times faster, the timer was 4 times too low. Main effect would have been the copter computes the wind compensation as its attidue…"
