Setting up a Quadplane delay after landing

Mission Planner
1

Trying to figure out how to mission plan a quadplane to land, delay, drop off a ball, then takeoff. I can set the Do_set_servo to drop the ball but can’t figure out the land, delay, takeoff part. Any help would be much appreciated.

I think Mission Planner is quite straight forward on setting the mission waypoints

Alvin,
Yes, for simple missions I would agree. Can you post an example of a quadplane mission that would do the following:

Vtol takeoff
Transition
Fly 3 waypoints
Detransition
Vtol Land
Delay on ground 10 seconds
Drop cargo
Vtol takeoff
Transition
Fly 3 waypoints
Vtol land at different location
Disarm

Thanks

I didn’t try if these settings actually works.
You can learn more from the ardupilot wiki
https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/quadplane-auto-mode.html

The plane should disarm itself when it lands on the last waypoint, as mentioned here

At the moment, I have only seen one implementation as was described on Andrew’s tutorial on how to resume a mission after landing.
Advanced ArduPilot Mission Planning - continue after land - YouTube .
His approach is landing > disarm using an Aux function > delay > arm using Aux function > takeoff > continue.
