Takeoff must climb to 7 meters #1

When the drone takes off, it must climb to an altitude of 7 meters. This altitude is for safety and it's standard procedure for Streamline Designs.

There are a few ways to do this. The documented approach on docs.px4.io is to set this parameter: MIS_TAKEOFF_ALT.

Alternatively, we could use OFFBOARD mode and send a setpoint that’s 7 meters up. When we go to offboard mode is up to us:

  1. We could go into offboard mode right after we arm.
  2. We could switch to offboard mode while we’re flying.

The second option seems best because it's closest to how our other program works.
