First, we aren't talking knives.
Second, who said the quad was tumbling? Significantly cutting engine speed and removing significant lift forces on a quad in order to kill the buzz doesn't mean it will start wildly gyrating.
Third, Ardupilot will get you within a few feet of a specified point with a good enough vector and speed. Luckily you can use a subroutine (secondary control program) to handle the final approach from the 'point' to the target.
- abz10 5y agoWe literally are talking knives on RC planes; see the comment I originally replied to. You are moving the goal posts. A quad will tumble with the motors off, the whole thing is a significant lift force. It was a big problem in early controller software where throttle dead zone would turn off the props. A problem I personally experienced. Maintaining any semblance of stability requires active adjustment. And no, Ardupilot will not get anything going at high speed to within a few feet in 3d space.
