Th-2 Vtol

[rdresch]

The new software for TH-2 VTOL software is out. Check it out . The documentation is all there also. Looks like it's been out for a couple of weeks. How could I have missed it? I messed with it for several hours and so far can find no problems. Joe really went out of his way on this and it is EXTREMELY flexible. Let me know what you all think.

So does it mix elevator/aileron as a continous variable of nacelle angle, keeping the roll/yaw with the same control, or is it just for a couple of preset angles in the transition?

Actually the ones you want to mix are aileron and rudder if it is a V22 osprey type VTOL. I am refering to cyclic control. There are 2 senarios. Airplane mode and heli mode. You determine the set point for switching over. You also set the rate from 0 to 100 in both modes for all axis. Example you could leave elevator control active when switching from heli to airplane mode and the cyclic would still controll pitch. You could also reduce or turn it off and let the elevator do the job. On a tilt rotor switching would probably occur near 45 degrees since it is equal at that point. Remember the primary airplane controlls, Rudder Elevator and Aileron will see enough forward speed to be active at that point so it probably not need full cyclic to fly. Other types of VTOL may well need a full mix.

I can't imagine why it was deleted. As for the TH-2 software, go to the website then TH-2 controller. click on product details for the TH-2 GP then go to the TH-2 support page. Let me know if you have any questions.
