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 30 or 50m for this action, then set the next waypoint a bit far (like 100m ) from the first waypoint,
the Nimbus 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 Nimbus VTOL will finish the final distance all
in multicopter mode, the power consumption in mutlicopter mode is 5 times more than in fixed wing mode.
