Andrew Tridgell 1355b6d89d Plane: break-up scheduling into smaller pieces
ensure mavlink sends don't push us over a scheduling boundary
2013-07-05 18:05:27 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1d6748cf3f Plane: use a glide slope in RTL when descending
when above the target altitude in RTL come down slowly, when below
climb rapidly

This fixes issue #39
