Tailsitter Planes¶ In ArduPilot tailsitters are any VTOL aircraft type that rotates the fuselage (and autopilot) when moving between forward flight and hover. Despite the name, not all tailsitters land on their tails.

Tuning a tailsitter is different than tuning a normal SLT (Separate Lift Thrust) or Tilt-Rotor Quadplane. Those QuadPlanes tune very similarly to a Multirotor since the attitude in VTOL is controlled by motor speed/thrust in all axes (the exception being YAW in …

See Tailsitter Section for details on transitions for tailsitters, which are different than non-tailsitters discussed below: Transition to Fixed Wing Mode from VTOL ¶ If you transition to MANUAL or ACRO , then the VTOL motors will immediately stop.

2024年11月25日 · Hi all, I’m finally testing out the world of Ardupilot VTOLs, and was wondering if I could get any feedback from expert eyes on my initial maiden flight. I’ve built a small twin tailsitter airframe with some parts bin …

2017年3月1日 · I’m going to try to to build up a dual-motor tailsitter using an Skywalker X5, and a Pixracer as a flight controller. My goal is to test the wind limits in hover mode, to see if it’s a viable launch and recovery method for a commercial UAS, and also to see what sort of impact adding the extra motor, prop, and ESC has on flight endurance.

Frame setup for Tailsitters is in this section: Tailsitter Planes. Once the frame is configured, proceed with the other QuadPlane Setup instructions. Plane VTOL Motor Configurations¶ These configurations add multicopter style lifting motors to a conventional fixed wing configuration.

2021年3月16日 · I think about building a tailsitter like the H-Wing. If you don´t know it, here is some nice review on Youtube. In general it´s a QUAD X Motor Tailsitter, but without control surfaces. The motors are slightly tilted: All Motors are tilted outwards; Left and right motors are tilted inside against each other

2022年10月25日 · I have videos that I can’t share of an experienced eXplora user flying with MTOM 5.1 kg, so he has weighted the tailsitter by more than 1.9 kg compared to my configuration without payload (3.4 Kg), and it works well in winds over 10 m/s.

2024年3月26日 · How do I adjust the parameters of my tailsitter so that I can direct my tailsitter in FBWA mode to +90 and -90 degrees of pitch, performing acrobatic elements. I have already set the PTCH_LIM_MAX and PTCH_LIM_MIN parame…

2020年1月18日 · Q_TAILSIT_MOTMX: Since we assign Throttle Right and Throttle Left to the motors, they are not controlled by any of the Motor 1 to Motor 8 parameter. But again the mission planner description says “Non-Zero indicates that the airframe is a tailsitter…”.
