F-86F Sabre Rocks Side to Side between waypoints on autopilo

Designing a stable autopilot is one of the hardest things. Need help?

That's ALOT. Aren't fighters sensitive? Try something like 0.05kp. make sure you change the PID which outputs to /controls/flight/aileron (My MD-88 which is a sluggish responding aircraft uses 0.06kp...) for the roll PID (target-roll and current roll = aileron)

I didn't mean you should solve this type of problem with a rate-of-change.


Ah, okay, I misunderstood - it's the equivalent of e.g. a JSBSim <kinematic> tag to make the airfoil moving a time finite.

I actually define these before starting to tune an AP at the stage where I do manual control - I've learned that the hard way when very sharp gimbal movements in the thrust vector controls killed me every time due to over-acceleration in a frame.

I guess if you don't have that large control effects then you can afford to do it afterwards, but my understanding is that it'd be good to put the finite time airfoil movement in before tuning anything.

It still rocks with the kp at 0.05, should I decrease it more?

0.05
0.1 is alot for an airliner, so half that.

i thought the F86 Sabre was a fighter jet??

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Yes. My point was if a heavy airliner used 0.08, you should have much less. Keep reducing.

Sorry for not posting anything here, I didn't fly this bird for a good chuck of January and early this month and haven't got the autopilot fixed yet. I am working on it again though.

Its still rocking, at times it isn't as strong as it was before, but can be as bad with a heavy load it seems.
