Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Yaw Stabilization in AUTO1/2

[David Conger]

This one uses a weather vane type sensor: http://youtu.be/LWTi2Dgh0Fw
The reason it's required there is the lack of vertical fins.
Would a gyro on yaw not be enough if you are trying to stabilize to take smooth 
video? 
As for just flying or landing I do not see where it would be necessary. Just 
land into the wind always.
