Add Takeoff fallback and Fix Typos #136

Sometimes, the drone takes off but fails to report that it is hovering. Create a 7-second fallback where one can assume the drone is afloat. This is to keep autonomous flight programs from freezing when the signal from the drone is lost.

Thanks for the patch, but I've never experienced this issue, nor do I understand how packet loss would cause it. IIRC the flying state is transmitted via every navdata pkg.
