"Thanks for the link!"
"No, I mean each aileron servo plugged into a separate out channel (for instance channel 1 and 5)."
I am currently installing the Pixhawk in a fixed wing dual servo aileron plane (one servo for each aileron). Is it okay to just mix the two servos through the Pixhawk and leave my controller alone. I am thinking this is okay, but want to make sure…
"Stabilize maintains both roll and pitch level if I am correct; does that mean you have to pitch down to keep the plane descending when approaching landing?"
Has anyone had experience landing in stabilize mode while flying a fixed wing aircraft? The reason for the question is that it seems stabilize mode may assist in both approach and landing.
"I keep getting autotest.py not found...any ideas?"
Has anyone successfully used a joystick connected through the Mission Planner? If so what kind of delay is experienced, in particular as it pertains to fixed wing aircraft? Is it necessary to always fly in FBW or another mode vs manual?
"I would like to know the answer to this as well."
"I would like to hear more insight on this as well. For a fixed wing aircraft would analog servos work just as well even though centering might not be exact on?"
"Last post 2009, however, I have had similar issues. Anyone ever found a solution to interference between APM/Pixhawk and 72mhz? I can only go about 10 ft with the antenna down until I began to lose signal."
Can anyone explain exactly why there is a need for an airspeed sensor with the Pixhawk if autonomous landing/takeoff and flight close to stall speed is not necessary?
"Thanks for that information. What kind of range do you suspect you can get with the EzUHF?"
"Anyone used Rangelink, Scherrer, or EzUHF, or Dragon Link with Pixhawk?"
Does anyone have any experience using UHF long range radio systems in conjunction with the Pixhawk? I would like to hear both the positive and negative and if there was any interference experienced.
"I am using the 3dr power module, is that the +5v supply? I also, have a couple of NiMh batteries plugged into the servo rail."
