VTOL Knowledge Base
Organize the site around the questions builders and troubleshooters actually ask.
This draft page proposes the library structure for Arimota: practical articles grouped by QuadPlane setup, output mapping, transition behavior, sensor trust, bench validation, and safer flight-test planning.
Article groups that fit the site mission
ArduPilot VTOL basics
- What makes QuadPlane different from a simple plane
- How VTOL modes and fixed-wing modes share one aircraft
QuadPlane setup
- Frame setup and Q-mode enablement
- First-pass setup checks before tuning
Output mapping
- Motor and servo ownership
- How to verify functions on the bench
Tilt geometry
- Tilt-rotor versus tilt-wing review priorities
- Servo direction and endpoint mistakes
Transition troubleshooting
- Forward-pitch and handoff failures
- Airspeed and forward-throttle assumptions
Sensors and EKF
- Compass, GPS, and EKF review basics
- What a heading or navigation mismatch looks like
Every article should answer three things
- What VTOL problem does this article help solve?
- Who is it for: builder, pilot, or troubleshooter?
- What should the reader do next: compare, bench test, review logs, or request help?
Build the library from grounded troubleshooting questions
A knowledge base gets strong when every article is anchored to a real review lane instead of filling space with generic drone copy.
