I have
THR_MAX 80
TRIM_THROTTLE 30 (don't need to waste power to loiter or just cruise around)
ARSPD_FBW_MIN 14
STICK_MIXING 1
My problem is if I'm downwind, I want RTL to apply more power to come back when ground speed is very low.
Right now, I believe R

So I know that the pixhawk has a safety where if the main CPU fails (and by that I assume the code), the 2nd lesser CPU can bridge the first 8 RC channels, which in the case of a plane will let you fly in manual mode even though the autopilot is dead

This means I want my RC transmitter to be able to fly my vtail without any pixhawk help.

Fitting all the APM and FPV gear in there is kind of tight, but it's doable.
Specs:
I can run apmplanner and mission planner just fine when I plug my old 3DR radio in my linux system.
I can send/receive data.
When I plug it into 3 android devices (2 phones, 1 tablet, different versions of android),

I have a multiplex cularis glider which tends to tip stall easily, so the fix is to put both ailerons up just a bit at low speed (washout). This makes the wing a bit less efficient, but also ensures that it won't tip stall.
My ailerons are on channel
