The geometry was previously quad_deadcat in which front motors are closer to CG and thus more loaded in hover. quad_wide is the same geometry as quad_deadcat except the CG is centered so all motors are loaded equally. Flight logs on IRIS with deadcat mixer showed that - all motors are equally loaded during hover (actuator_outputs 0 to 3 have similar values) - a negative pitch offset is building up soon after takeoff (visible in actuator_controls)
PX4 Pro Drone Autopilot
This repository holds the PX4 Pro flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the src/modules directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.

PX4 Users
The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!
PX4 Developers
This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.
Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Weekly Dev Call
The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.
Note
The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform.
