2018-07-19 09:48:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d8a7618e15 Plane: update use of AC_Loiter controller for quadplane
this changes the way the loiter controller is initialised for QLOITER,
after discussions with Leonard.

The way we were doing it could cause a sudden acceleration demand when
switching into QLOITER.

This also changes the default loiter parameters to reduce the maximum
acceleration that will be applied in QLOITER. Many thanks to Leonard for
the advice

Andrew Tridgell 0aed5a9a57 Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes
