Fixed Wing mode when the event is triggered it will return home in fixed wing mode and land in quadcopter
mode. When the vehicle is in quadcopter mode when the event triggers it will return home and land in
quadcopter mode.
These settings define how the vehicle behaves when it engages the Return to Launch / Return Home
function. The Climb altitude is the minimum altitude relative to home the vehicle will maintain for its return
path. If the vehicle is higher at the point where this RTL is triggered it will maintain that altitude to return. As
of firmware DQRC12F the vehicle will descend to the indicated RTL altitude as fixed wing by circling down
before transitioning to quadcopter mode.
Land Mode Settings
Default Descent Rate: 1m/s
Disarm after: 5s
This controls the landing behavior. The descend rate should not be increased above 1.5m/s and not above
0.8m/s when flying in windy conditions. At higher descent rates the vehicle could become unstable during
landing. When such instability occurs the vehicle will correct itself by applying a lower descend rate and the
indicated descend rate might not be achieved.
The disarm time is the time the vehicle waits before disarming (stopping the motors) after it has detected a
landing. The value should not be set lower then 5 seconds.
Integrating payloads
The DeltaQuad has been optimized for payload integration. The payload integration features consist of the
following;
Large payload bay located directly on the CG, this allows live swapping of payloads without having to
re-balance the vehicle.
Expandable blind mate connectors to allow electronics integration in the VTOL modules and wings
Open source flight control with Mavlink compatibility
Fully accessible secondary on-board computer for software integration
