Michael du Breuil 731c68f273 Plane: Change mode to RTL on end of mission rather then staying in auto 
Deleted commands_process as it had 2 lines of useful code left, and was cleaner to move the remaining two lines into the caller case

Andrew Tridgell ab5ca53e2f Plane: lower default VTOL ANGLE_MAX to 30 degrees 
we don't really want a quadplane at 45 degrees or the wing drag gets
far too high

Andrew Tridgell 19a1edcd2b Plane: lower default velocity controller gains for quadplanes

James Stoyell 4e7e84fc99 Plane: Modified last_valid_rc_ms AFS failsafe input to work when standard failsafe is on 
Ran into a bug on our physical plane where failsafe.last_valid_rc_ms was not recognizing that the transmitter had failed. This is likely due to how the standard failsafe works in receiving lower-than-possible throttle values. So in order to account for this, I added a new variable to the failsafe, AFS_last_valid_rc_ms, and I update it only if the ch3_failsafe (the throttle failsafe) is not on. If the throttle failsafe is on, that means that the plane has indeed lost transmitter input, so the AFS needs to recognize that.

Tom Pittenger 2ba9a04bf5 Plane: smooth-out the end of takeoff pitch by reducing takeoff pitch min via TKOFF_PLIM_SEC 
@Description: This parameter reduces the pitch minimum limit of an auto-takeoff just a few seconds before it reaches the target altitude. This reduces overshoot by allowing the flight controller to start leveling off a few seconds before reaching the target height. When set to zero, the mission pitch min is enforced all the way to and through the target altitude, otherwise the pitch min slowly reduces to zero in the final segment. This is the pitch_min, not the demand. The flight controller should still be commanding to gain altitude to finish the takeoff but with this param it is not forcing it higher than it wants to be.

Tom Pittenger 6a83ad419a Plane: moved update_flight_stage() inside setup_glide_slope() 
the glide_slope gets calculated every time there's a major event such as mission item change or wp_proportion change so its good to update the flight stage then too because.
also logging stage when stage changes, might as well get an extra data point in there when it's timely

Grant Morphett 2887e48178 Plane: Fixed bug with landing flare for high values of LAND_FLARE_SEC 
I had an issue in SITL where my plane would round the last WP staring
its landing approach and immediately limit the roll to 5degress even
before the plane had finished turning the corner so it would go WAY
off course.  For a high value of LAND_FLARE_SEC (mine was 5) the math
works out the plane has landed if
    height <= sink_rate * land_flare_sec
During the banking of the last corner the plane started to decend and
quickly set itself up for a 6.1m/s sink rate which is normal.  It was
at 30 meters altitude.  As you can see at this point the math thinks
the plane has landed so limits the roll.  The solution was to ensure
the plane had covered at least 50% of the distance toward the final
waypoint before allowing a flare to happen.  Note that LAND_FLARE_SEC
above 2 is considered very high and this normally wouldn't occur.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa a4c099feaa waf: create program groups for main products

consistency.

Tom Pittenger 0b26a34f22 Plane: new param LAND_THEN_NEUTRL

Tom Pittenger c837fbca2f Plane: 3/3 new param TECS_LAND_SRC for Land Sink Rate Change 
// @Description: When zero, the flare sink rate (TECS_LAND_SINK) is a fixed sink demand. With this enabled the flare sinkrate will increase/decrease the flare sink demand as you get further beyond the LAND waypoint. Has no effect before the waypoint. This value is added to TECS_LAND_SINK proportional to distance traveled after wp. With an increasing sink rate you can still land in a given distance if you're traveling too fast and cruise passed the land point. A positive value will force the plane to land sooner proportional to distance passed land point. A negative number will tell the plane to slowly climb allowing for a pitched-up stall landing. Recommend 0.2 as initial value.

Tom Pittenger 2e92089ce6 Plane: Reverse Thrust 
Reverse thrust for controlled landings, even with much steeper approach slopes. This is achieved by allowing throttle demand to go negative to maintain a target airspeed. A Pre-Flare stage was added, triggered by an altitude, to allow for a slower airspeed just before land. That lower airspeed can be near stall.

Gustavo Jose de Sousa 17e5d99509 waf: allow partial builds with new mavlink as submodule 
The task generator for the mavlink headers is given a name 'mavlink' and is
added as a dependency to all local static libraries, because all of them use
sources that include mavlink headers. It would be nice to have a good way to
detect sources that use mavlink headers or to declare list of libraries that
use the headers, so that the dependency could be added automatically.

Additionally, there's a minor change in syntax for the task generator: using
strings directly instead of lists.

Tom Pittenger 7cde90553d Plane: new param CRASH_ACC_THRESH 
@Description: X-Axis deceleration threshold to notify the crash detector that there was a possible impact which helps disarm the motor quickly after a crash. This value should be much higher than normal negative x-axis forces during normal flight, check flight log files to determine the average IMU.x values for your aircraft and motor type. Higher value means less sensative (triggers on higher impact). For electric planes that don't vibrate much during fight a value of 25 is good (that's about 2.5G). For petrol/nitro planes you'll want a higher value. Set to 0 to disable the collision detector.

Tom Pittenger 21205f8b41 Plane: improved crash detection logic and agility

- simplified the use of been_auto_flying to check across all flight stages. before it was excluded to handle hand-launches which can now be detected with in_preLaunch_flight_stage()
