Although the results didn't show much conclusively, I think it's safe to say losing one motor doesn't faze Ardupilot in any significant way provided there is still enough thrust, and the prop direction doesn't matter either. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd5qMIzzIbo
It ain't much, but it's ok for a starter setup.

Quite bouncy in pitch during these flights. Being not too familiar with puller-prop configuration, it only occurred to me after editing the video that the increase in stability at speed is not just from the faster airflow, it's also because it's being pulled from the front rather than pushed from the back.

It's not really a quadcopter since it's 2d, but same idea. One ApplyForce is done at each end as shown by the orange lines, and this is the only control output. There is one PID controller to alter the ratio of force between the ends, and another PID to alter the total force output. Surprisingly it works fairly well.

Lighting is important, mix ratio is important, pressure is important.... actually everything is important I think. Still need a lot more practice to get a good result.

It stopped raining for more than 4 hours today, but still not quite the weather I'd like. Winter is really making up for its late arrival...

My first fixed-wing FPV flight - what a bumpy ride! Plane is a Teksumo, I'm using Runcam2 live video out for FPV. This is with attitude stabilization on, but I think maybe the gains need to be set higher.

Looks like this was already all over YouTube by the time I got home and could even look at my own footage, but for those who want to see it from yet another angle, here you go. Thanks to Neil and Ron for helping with the setup :)
