Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Electrical connections in the airborne equipment.

I always wonder about that. I can see why mixing it with the roll
angle would be helpful (to prevent it to falling "into" the center of
curve), but why mix it with ailerons? Shouldn't you use the rudder
trough the entire duration of a curve?
