takeoff_detect

Fixed-wing automatic launch detection When loaded, the pitch angle of plane is monitored, and will trigger the launch variable if the angle goes over a specified value (nose up) for 2 seconds. The launch variable can be reset to FALSE by pointing the nose to the ground. The module disables itself within a few seconds (4s) after detecting the launch. It can be re-actiaved by hand from the GCS.
