iNav FW Turn Assist and Reference Airspeed

Testing iNav Fixed Wing "Turn Assist Yaw Gain" and "Reference Airspeed" to see how they influence rudder throws in RTH and Pos Hold modes. These are the settings that can put your plane into a stall and spiral of death if your rudder throws are too high. Turn Assist Yaw Gain is ON by default and can only be turned off by setting the gain to zero in the CLI. Turn Assist tries to make a coordinated turn for RTH and HOLD modes as if the plane was flying at the Reference Airspeed (default 1000cm/s = 10m/s = 36kph) I tested Ref Airspeed of 2000 and 5000 to see if the turn was safer, and tested Turn Assist OFF by setting the gain to zero. I preferred Turn Assist Yaw Gain = 0.000 for smoother and safer turns. Air Mode OFF just means there is less stabilisation at zero throttle, which is not really a problem, and means AIR is not shown in the OSD Yaw P and I at zero means Yaw stabilisation is OFF in ACRO mode, making Bank and Yank flying possible. CLI command for Turn Assist OFF - Set fw_turn_assist_yaw_gain = 0 Yaw P and I can be set to zero in the PID Tuning Tab Many thanks to Alexander van Saase for pursuing these questions with the iNav devs. Like, Subscribe & Ding the 🔔 - http://bit.ly/ANsubscribe 🎥 Video Recording Gear 🎤 In the Field ► Onboard camera Mobius C2 - https://bit.ly/2RLNLLg ► Hatcam Firefly 8S 90º with external mic - https://bit.ly/2DwAP2V ► External Microphone - http://bit.ly/30SwvDB In the Workshop ► Wide workbench cam - GoPro HERO7 Black and Firefly 8S 170º - http://bit.ly/FF8S170 ► Close up workbench cam - Panasonic Lumix LX10 1080 50fps ► Audio recording - Rode smartLav+ mic in Samsung A8 - http://bit.ly/2ZK6GGy ► Video Editing in Final Cut Pro X on 27" iMac ► All the Action cameras I have reviewed - http://newtonairlines.blogspot.com/2018/09/action-camera-roundup.html 🔎 More information 🔍 ► Newton Airlines Uncut - http://bit.ly/NewtonAirlinesUncut ► Newton Airlines blog - http://newtonairlines.blogspot.com.au ► Links for my build materials - http://newtonairlines.blogspot.com/2015/03/materials-and-links.html ► Andrew Newton YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewNewtonAustralia ► My portal - http://anewton.net ► iNav Basics and FAQs - https://newtonairlines.blogspot.com/search/label/iNav%20Basics ► All my iNav CLI Dump files - http://bit.ly/2t2OPz7 ►My FPV gear - https://newtonairlines.blogspot.com.au/2018/02/my-fpv-rig.html ►Favourite iNav gear Matek F405 Wing FCB - https://bit.ly/2SI3bAv iNav GPS - https://bit.ly/2ERre6w Beitian BN-880 GPS - http://bit.ly/2K7hdHc ► Depron Armin Wing build - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_RzXO5u3M0 ► Skyshark P4X spars - https://www.kitesandfunthings.com/Products/SKY-SHARK-P4X-CAMO__SSP4XCAM0.aspx ► Knauf XPS Hot Wire Foam panels - https://www.bunnings.com.au/our-range/building-hardware/building-construction/insulation/panels ► GBC EZLOAD laminating film (May be discontinued) - https://shop.quadient.com.au/products/lamination/film ► Alternative 75 micron laminating film (not tried by me) - https://www.boundtoimpress.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=64_12_104_17&products_id=91 ► Depron and foam board - My 6mm and 3mm depron came from www.tradewarehouse.com.au But from 2020 it seems they no longer sell proper depron.
