Test report

Taking off with the TX15 › Arm, pick QLOITER, lift off and land failed

As a pilot with a radio, I want to arm the VTOL, pick a hover mode and lift off with the throttle stick, so that I can fly the plane the way I fly it in the field.

The test behind the tutorial Taking off with the TX15: every step it takes, what it checks and what it saw.

Start

From the setup of Flying with a radio.
