The is commit adds a new flight mode called 'Throw' to Copter that enables the copter to be thrown into the air to start motors. This mode can only be netered when the copters EKF has a valid position estimate and goes through the following states Throw_Disarmed - The copter is disarmed and motors are off. Throw_Detecting - The copter is armed, but motors will not spin unless THROW_MOT_START has been set to 1. The copter is waiting to detect the throw. A throw with an upwards velocity of at least 50cm/s is required to trigger the detector. Throw_Uprighting - The throw has been detected and the copter is being uprighted with 50% throttle to maximise control authority. This state transitions when the copter is within 30 degrees of level. Throw_HgtStabilise - The copter is kept level and height is stabilised about the target height which is 3m above the height at which the throw release was detected. This state transitions when the height is no more than 0.5m below the demanded height. Throw_PosHold - The horizontal motion is arrested and the copter is kept at a constant position and height. |

The ArduPilot project is made up of:
User Support & Discussion Forums
APM Forum: http://ardupilot.com/forum/index.php
Community Site: http://diydrones.com
Developer Information
Github repository: https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot
Main developer wiki: http://dev.ardupilot.com

Contributors
Dronecode.org
ArduPilot is part of Dronecode.org, a Linux Foundation collaborative project.
Dronecode encompasses projects that control flight, enable mission planning, and otherwise make drone flight and advanced functionality possible.
Dronecode development is done at the project level with coordinating and resource allocation performed by the TSC and the Board.
For information on the foundation please visit https://www.dronecode.org and https://github.com/Dronecode for further information or contact celder@dronecode.org
How To Get Involved
The ArduPilot project is open source and we encourage participation and code contributions: guidelines for contributors to the ardupilot codebase
We have an active group of Beta Testers especially for ArduCopter to help us find bugs: release procedures
Desired Enhancements and Bugs can be posted to the issues list.
Helping other users with log analysis on diydrones.com and the APM forums is always appreciated:
There is a group of wiki editors as well in case documentation is your thing: ardu-wiki-editors@googlegroups.com
Developer discussions occur on drones-discuss@google-groups.com
