Auto Credit Based on SajabAerospace's Typhoon Test 2
Upload for testing the flight control system, specifically the PID controllers. There are two elevons, the inboard surfaces have a PID for PitchAngle, the outboard surfaces have a PID for RollAngle (There's some other stuff as well). The idea is to have automatic trim for pitch and roll. It works okay, but I think it could be improved. If you have time it would be great if you could take a look at it and either make some changes yourself or suggestions on how I could improve it.

@SnoWFLakE0s I did a bit more fine tuning (using the industry standard "Put random numbers in and see what happens" method) and it works better now.
Hmmm. Honestly with PID tuning I really cannot offer much useful assistance. PID tuning is very much up to trial and error, as far as I know shaky movement may be a result of too strong a correction. Try lessening the correction factors.
@SnoWFLakE0s do you think you might be able to help with this? I tried making a PID (one for PitchAngle and one for RollAngle) and I think it works okay, but it's not quite perfect. It's especially problematic at high speeds.
It would be interesting to see this with a more complex fly by wire system, it's quite basic at the moment.
