Don Gagne 1db3c6e688 AP_Arming: param doc fixes
These were confusing the parser, or just incorrect
2014-01-10 10:40:53 +09:00
Don Gagne e68cf2d1c5 Plane: Fix parameter documentation
Fixes some problems with incorrect docs which would in turn generate
bad amp.pdef.xml files for ground stations.

Paul Riseborough 779e32d79f AP_Control : Add true airspeed compensation to pitch controller
turn rate to pitch rate calculation should use true airspeed
2013-12-17 14:17:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b5cae2134 APM_Control: reduce roll compensation in pitch controller by cos(pitch)
