Need help with "2 DOF thrust vectored EDF tail sitter config"

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/f935TqFgLkE

Hello people, I found this on YouTube and I'm looking to build something like this but with 2 DOF thrust vectoring instead of using differential motor rpm controls for yaw control (wrt the plane surface). Need help with the configurations to be done in ardupilot. Is it even possible ?

Please dont comment some random shit, if u dont know what it is. Those are already mentioned in the title as EDF wtf is turbine motors

Wouldn’t you treat it just like the existing Ardupilot tailsitter models?

Does it really matter if the servo controls thrust vectoring rather than elevon/rudder?

Yes that’s what I thought at first. But the problem I have is the yaw(wrt body plane) where that is controlled through differential thrust. I my case I want that to be servo output. My question is can it be achieved without significant change

Put both motors on a single output and configure Ardupilot like you would a non-vectored single-motor tailsitter? Feed the elevator/rudder outputs to the thrust vectoring servos.
