Andrew Tridgell 49cb245ea6 Plane: use a min airspeed for is_flying test
in VTOLs setting min airspeed to zero can be useful

Michael du Breuil 1a3ca43e86 Plane: Don't check FS_SHORT_TIMEOUT if it's disabled
Also renames the check_minimum_altitude() to reflect that it's only used
for FBWB.

Michael du Breuil 9720fcb8cc Plane: Only update home when not armed, rather then not soft armed
Plane supports being armed, in takeoff logic and not spinning the motor
until the moment the safety button has been pressed. Unfortunately
because the safety button is required to be pressed for soft arming this
results in the plane updating home position while the user moves the
vehicle or is holding it to throw the vehicle which will can result in
several meters of altitude error from where the user expected home to
be.

Because the normal approach to plane is to have activated the safety
button before arming the aircraft this is not expected to be a behaviour
change for most users, but an improvement for people who use the button
to initiate a takeoff.

Andrew Tridgell e06f160dc9 Plane: disable rudder scaling in tailsitters
this is most often implemented as dual-motor differential thrust, and
we don't want to do surface speed scaling for that.

In the future we'll move this scaling so it can be done on rudders for
3D planes

Michael du Breuil bd32b5deb7 Plane: update isFlying() landing check
When we are landing a sink_rate < -0.2f means the vehicle is climbing,
which should never happen during an approach for any supported landing
type (slope or deepstall), and on hard impacts with the ground its
common for the vehicle altitude to be projected to low and climb back to
the correct altitude slowly (but at a higher rate). This changes the
check to only consider sinks while on approach as acceptable.

Plane: add Tom Pittenger to developers list. He was added to main Plane.h as "Lead Developer" here *https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/ArduPlane/Plane.h#L2) but never to the main ArduPilot.c file.

Andrew Tridgell 957c1f6d23 Plane: extend QLOITER transition pitch limit
use twice transition time for pitch envelope to reduce QLOITER
transition harshness

Andrew Tridgell 9c8cd6c1cc Plane: added Q_TRANS_DECEL
this gives a deceleration rate for QRTL transition from RTL, and also
for transitions to QLOITER

Andrew Tridgell 21164ef409 Plane: added tailsitter surface speed scaling
added scaling of control surfaces by throttle when in hover. This helps
the controller remain stable over a wide range of throttle levels, such
as when descending or rapidly climbing

thanks to Nick for noticing this!

Andrew Tridgell 1085069851 Plane: use WP_LOITER_RAD if RTL_RADIUS is 0 for QRTL 2017-10-30 16:52:19 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell aa430a6e2c Plane: use RTL_RADIUS for QRTL threshold
when Q_RTL_MODE=1 in a quadplane use RTL_RADIUS as the distance to
switch to QRTL mode. We navigate to the destination using direct
waypoint navigation instead of using a loiter circle.
