Samara-2

mix run examples/samara/samara-2.exs

• test throttle control
  • surface altitude to 10 meters
  • coast to max altitude (vertical velocity == 0 m/s)
  • hover for 10 seconds
  • descend at 1 m/s until landing

• telemetry:
  • velocity vector
  • direction vector
  • heading (0..360)
  • pitch (-90..90)
  • roll (-180..180)
