First time posting here, so forgive me if I leave out some crucial information.
The issue I’m having is that when switching from a manual mode to an autonomous mode the pitch and roll setpoints have a step change to very large values. I have experienced this on two flying wings (1 home built, 1 E-flight Opterra). The first incident led to a crash. The second time I made sure I had sufficient altitude before testing. Below are the details and flight logs.
- Incident #1: Homebuilt flying wing
**Cube Orange+ w/ PX4 V1.14
** QGroundControl v4.2.8
** Switched from stabilized to mission mode (waypoint) at 6:21.9
** https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=1a11d6cc-cf7e-49ed-9b1f-7252e456c9de - Incident #2: E-Flight Opterra 2m
**Cube Orange+ w/ PX4 V1.14 (same Cube as Incident #1)
** QGroundControl v4.2.8
** Switched from stabilized to hold mode at 2:25.

Any help is appreciated. I don’t know if this is a potential issue with the hardware (Orange+), the PX4 v1.14 firmware, or if it is specific to the flying wing airframe selection. Both aircraft flew fine in manual modes (manual and stabilized) before the incidents.
