Inspired by Arduplane STAB_PITCH_DOWN setting.
The
fw_min_throttle_down_pitch
(decidegrees) controls the amount of down pitch to add inANGLE
mode mode when at low throttle. No down trim is added when throttle is abovenav_fw_cruise_thr
. Belownav_fw_cruise_thr
downtrim is added in proportion to the amount the throttle is belownav_fw_cruise_thr
. At zero throttle the full down pitch specified in this parameter is added. This parameter is meant to help keep airspeed up when flying inANGLE
mode with low throttle, such as when on a landing approach, without relying on an airspeed sensor.Tested, ready to merge.
