Arming
When armed the aircraft is ready to fly and any motors attached will spin when throttle is applied.
By default arming and disarming is done using stick positions. Arming with stick positions is disabled when using a switch to arm.
Stick positions
LOW - the channel value for the mapped channel input is around 1000
CENTER - the channel value for the mapped channel input is around 1500
HIGH - the channel value for the mapped channel input is around 2000

Yaw control
While arming/disarming with sticks, your yaw stick will be moving to extreme values. In order to prevent your craft
from trying to yaw during arming/disarming while on the ground, your yaw input will not cause the craft to yaw when the
throttle is LOW (i.e. below the min_check setting).
For tricopters, you may want to retain the ability to yaw while on the ground, so that you can verify that your tail
servo is working correctly before takeoff. You can do this by setting tri_unarmed_servo to 1 on the CLI (this is the
default). If you are having issues with your tail rotor contacting the ground during arm/disarm, you can set this to
0 instead. Check this table to decide which setting will suit you:
| Is yaw control of the tricopter allowed? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disarmed | Armed | |||
| Throttle low | Throttle normal | Throttle low | Throttle normal | |
| tri_unarmed_servo = 0 | No | No | No | Yes |
| No | No | No | Yes | |
| tri_unarmed_servo = 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
