I would like to try this out on a small EPP Flying wing. I have been very impressed with reverse thrust landings and was wondering if it is possible to setup ardupliot to do a complete 90 degree dive at the ground with reverse thrust to gently crash itself into the ground for a landing?

Can ardupilot handle flight looking straight down at the ground? A fairly light build with a decent size motor/prop on an EPP flying wing should be able to land straight down with out obtaining much damage if the motor is powerful enough in reverse thrust. This could be a great solution to area's that don't have runways.

What major issues would this have with current firmware?

Thank you,

Jason
