Improved rc_cessna model simulation behaviour:

  • increased wings drag for faster deceleration when there is no throttle
  • increased vertical stabilizer area for a more realistic air resistance during banking manouvers
  • decreased motor power to reduce the plane top speed at full throttle (from over 100m/s to a more reasonable 40-50m/s)

@StefanoColli Can you share flight logs that compares the previous and fixed behavior for reference?

Do you mean some graphs showing the different behavior (e.g., for the speed at max throttle and deceleration at 0 throttle) or complete ulg logs? Because the latter also depends on the tuning on PX4 side and not only on the Gazebo models.

@StefanoColli Both. The description of the PR only discusses changes in the code without explaining the effects on the behavior of the model
