Autopilot
After the first flight, you can try to do autopilot.
You can choose to take off and land either by manual control or automatically.
To use automatic taking off and landing, you can change the first waypoint to VTOL_TAKE OFF, and set an
altitude like 50m for this action, then set the next waypoint a bit far (like 100m ) from the first waypoint, the
Baby Shark will take off as a multicopter, when it reaches the wanted altitude, it will switch to fixed wing and
fly waypoints or missions like a fixed wing.
The VTOL landing is also the similar, you can set the last waypoint to VTOL_LAND, but it’s suggested to set
one waypoint which is around 100m from this one, since the plane will try to turn to multicopter before the
last waypoint, if the waypoint before VTOL_LAND is too far, the Baby Shark will finish the final distance all in
multicopter mode, the power consumption in mutlicopter mode is 5 times more than in fixed wing mode.
Q_RTL is enabled as default,if the VTOL land command is not added, then the VTOL will go back to
HOME position and home altitude(default 50m)and performs automatical VTOL land.
