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
Read more…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.
Read more…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?
