@DonLakeFlyer can we get this one through?

I think this should be also added as a new Vehicle Class in QGCMAVLink.* code. Also what about bool PX4FirmwarePlugin::isCapable(const Vehicle *vehicle, FirmwareCapabilities capabilities) const? Should any capability bits be set?

Does this vehicle support missions?

I did not try missions with this vehicle. So far it is experimental. Would this need to be support for QGC?

Hi @DonLakeFlyer not yet, but I'll come back to you before the weekend. Sorry for the delay, things are a bit hectic atm

@DonLakeFlyer finally got to do it. No extra capabilities should be added at this point, this will be for later. The vehicle does not support missions for now.

I also fixed a string for proper text spacing on the Airframe tab.
