After PIDiling and getting an understanding of it to make it hover by itself, made the trip to the cellar.
This project had kicked my butt badly in the past tries, butt today, I feel I got a handle on it.
Now I need room to try to have space so I can tune it.
For the tail sitter that does a hover, right aileron rolls the plane so the left wing moves to you, up elevator moves the plane's nose at you and right rudder slides the plane at an angle to the right. Throttle management is super critical. Just like a helicopter's throttle.
To help preventing destroying the apparatus, put training wheels under it to save props/servos/motors. I just ordered 12 APC props to cover damage for vibrations cause havoc with the FC.
Okay, got that, eh, real simple. So, unlearn flying and learn hover. Now, lifting from the ground, hope I do not have it unwind by the I factor. I did prepare by using a sim and tried hovering at it lifted off the ground.
Here is the result of three attempts:
Trim is the killer, you can't use the Tx, so you hope you get the right sign direction to get it right. I have no expo so the servo travel has to be adjusted. So I need free space and no wind to further my fun. Then comes the wind stuff, the plane is nothing more than a flat plate sheet.
Am I happy, heck yes!!!!!!!!!!!
