🔮 Executive summary
During this debrief we are reviewing the crash footage & Ardupilot telemetry logs
Had trouble maintaining fixed wing attitude
Looking at logs is that the elevator input makes almost no change in attitude
Could’ve been caused by airspeed being too low
Roll input is weak as well
Possibly all of our control surfaces are weak due to low airspeed ?
As we get faster servos require more power to work
Consider making controls out of something else, maybe a different
From logs it started falling as soon as the quad motors shutoff
Prime theory is we weren't going fast enough when quad motors shutoff
yaw is a bit weird but possibly not the issue
We should check pixhawk parameters and that would give us more information
