[Paparazzi-devel] Parameter identification

[Balazs GATI]

Hi all,

we are using TWOG for 4 years, and now we would like to use it for 
identification of control and stability derivatives. My strategy would 
be the following:
- level flight in AUTO2
- when the flight seems steady, test engineer clicks on a button on the GCS
- then TWOG:
    - measures the trim position of the controls
    - opens loop (controls fixed in trim position)
    - adds predefined control inputs (i.e doublet) to trimm values
    - closes loop after predefined seconds

I would be pleased if you could confirm whether this procedure can be 
realized by editing the flight plan only. (I would like to avoid 
changing the source code.)

Regards,
  Balazs
