Just wondering if this could be done with Gluonpilot and some programming.
I have an EDF Jet (FlyFly Mig29) with two ducted fans and trust vector control. It seems a nice challenge to me to deploy the gluonpilot for flight stabilization (and for the fun of it perhaps homing). The first step would be to control autonomous hovering with the thrust vectors. This requires pitch, roll, yaw and altitude/power control. Apart from the magick of a hovering Jet this will make launching really easy Currently the Jet is already able to hover using 3 rate servo's but eventually the Jet becomes uncontrollable and falls out the hover.
I suppose this is a piece of cake for the gluonpilot hardware (true?)
My current concern is that I need all 4 pcm inputs (pitch, roll, yaw, gas) because I fly futaba fasst. Is there a way I can still control flight mode (normal flight, hover, high-alpha, homing). I still could ommit the yaw control but I prefer to have it. Another little thingie is that 6 output channels are not enough to control a full blown jet (2* vector altitude, 1*vector yaw, 2*taileron, 1*gas) and, this would be nice, 2* canard, and 2*aileron for in flight stabilization. Again, the last options would be nice but requires all together 10 outputs. Any plans for hardware 0.2
Any other consideration that I have to make before I dive into this? Suggestions are welcome. Of course I share the code if this ever will become a success.
Thanks,
Marc
