Hi everyone,
I’m preparing to test flight modes on a heavy quadplane and I’m concerned about transitioning directly from Q-HOVER to FBWA, especially if the fixed-wing PID parameters aren’t well-tuned. To mitigate risk, I was considering Stabilize mode instead.
The issue is that while I’ve used FBWA successfully on smaller VTOLs, I’ve never relied on Stabilize mode, as the ArduPilot Wiki advises against it. However, I’m unsure if these limitations still apply in recent ArduPilot versions or if they’ve been resolved.
In SITL, Stabilize mode appears to work perfectly, but I’d appreciate insights from someone actively involved in ArduPilot’s development. Is there any ArduPilot developer who can provide an update on the current state of Stabilize mode for quadplanes?
Thanks in advance!
