The pitch needs to be controlled somehow - maintaining a zero degree elevon angle would cause the shuttle to either pitch up (and stall) or dive towards the ground. IMHO, once the autopilot ends at M2.5, the best thing is to downmode to CSS and have the user take control.OK. Couldn't it be changed to maintain a zero degree elevon angle instead of totally freaking out and saturating the elevons?
I guess the same question applies for early entry with roll rate, the AoA AP maintaining a zero deg/s roll rate and instead of reacting immediately it responds to a commanded roll angle.
With roll, the problem is that there's no good way to set the aileron position (because we're still using CreateControlSurface for the ailerons). I'm in the process of creating a csv data file for the ailerons.
