Test pitot tube and sensor by blowing the flight controller.
Test fly the airplane using manual mode.
Check the minimum cruise speed.
Set the cruise speed to the flight controller.
Test fly the airplane using stabilize flight mode then loiter flight mode.
Check the altitude should not reduce during loiter.
Landing manually with pilot control.
Check the final altitude (in the flight log) and its point on map to check the range from final to touch down.
Insert this parameter to the flight controller.
Check parameters for landing in case of overshoot.
Check the use of Nose Gear or Tail Gear and set the parameter.
Do ground run to check the straight ground taxi.
Test flight auto landing.
Once succesfull, test auto take off.
Check parameters for auto take off.
For landing gear, (need to check take off speed value and insert into the flight controller).
Every test flight must follow Pre flight, during flight and post flight check to make sure everything is safe.

If multicopter vibrate during flying, most probably wrong multicopter configuration used. Change to any related multicopter choice given and test flight. I did mine with s500 and s500 generic. With same chardware configuration, s500 generic works better with no vibration.
6. Data link Loss Failsafe
During our test flight with mission, aircraft return automatically during toward 2nd waypoints. When we checked, the GCS failsafe kicks in. Now we have disabled gcs failsafe.

9. Today marked the first maiden of the vtol px4 in multicopter mode. Maiden in stabilize mode. It will hover at 50%. Then after that, we want to proceed to position flight modes. But the motors dont start until it reaches 65%. Hmm...then, watched this videos, and i should start with stabilized, then altitude hold, then position hold. And as to land, has to make sure the throttle is at 50%. Weird, multicopter didnt behave weird as this. And no warnings appeared in the qgc.

(you can watch the full video to learn more but here just be noted how to control your battery.
my ready to land loading voltage (fixed wing flying loading) is 21.0V, then landing is 21.4V, don't be less than mine, loading voltage recommend to be ready for landing at about 21.4V , then landing voltage would be around 21.7V is safety.)6S battery to support pixhawk : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVGo2VBjpUc

Setelah mencari beebrapa esc yang boleh reverse, alhamdulillah, dengan bantuan dari group komuniti ardupilot di facebook, dapat juga esc yang sesuai untuk reverse. Harap2 dengan adanya esc ini, boleh la kapal terbang reverse masa sedang landing nnt.
