Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Forced Mode2 on Condition

[David Conger]

Pascal,

With only a Joystick at the ground station how then is a new aircraft  
"tuned"?

My understanding is you must set mechanically all the flight surfaces  
properly for stable flight before AUTO2 is possible. With only a  
joystick is it possible to fly a model in "manual" or AUTO1?
