"I still believe the answer is in the rudder. Just try trimming a ton of rudder in next time you fly the grid and I bet it will slide back onto the line."

Problem 1:The APM .log files contain CAM messages based on when the autopilot commanded the camera to be triggered. It doesn't know when or if the camera actually triggered. This can result in CAM…Continue
Autolanding failure. Tip stall? on turn to final causing uncommanded roll to 80 deg.

Today's autolanding attempt with my Skywalker 1880 was a failure. I attempted to insert some Do_Change_Speed commands to incrementally slow down from cruise speed to landing speed. On the base…Continue

I'm flying (Plane) in very steep terrain and I want to be able to loiter over a point to climb to an given altitude before continuing on with the mission. Same for my approach, I want to loiter over…Continue

https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/flight-path-offset/3881
Unfortunately the others have long been deleted from the DIYDRONES. "
iskess replied to Bert's discussion Skywalker 1900 , gridmission skipping patch and not following waypoints correct"If you are using the Skywalker 1880 then 15m/s is appropriate, however Bert is using the 1900 which has an undercambered wing. I use 13 m/s as a trim speed on my 1900’s. "
iskess replied to Bert's discussion Skywalker 1900 , gridmission skipping patch and not following waypoints correct"Ay is what I use when graphing in real time using the Tuning window in MP.
I’m not near a computer so I can’t tell you what to look for in the logs. Both logs should have accelerometer data. You are looking for lateral (side to…"
iskess replied to Bert's discussion Skywalker 1900 , gridmission skipping patch and not following waypoints correct"How do you know that you don’t need rudder? The plane will fly in a straight line of the ailerons are compensating for the rudder. Check the lateral acceleration in the logs to be sure. "
iskess replied to Bert's discussion Skywalker 1900 , gridmission skipping patch and not following waypoints correct"I’ve seen this before, especially with the Skywalker. I suspect that your plane is flying in a slip due to the spiraling slipstream from the big pusher prop hitting the tail and creating a yaw. You can see the plane flying in a slip…"
