I don't know if this has been asked before. But is there any way to have a different set of default params for helicopters vs multi-rotors? As an example, and one that the Trad Heli documentation doesn't cover, is ACCEL_Z_P, which is 0.500 by default. That might work for multi's but it makes the collective bounce up and down like a rubber ball on most helicopters. And can cause a crash as soon as the pilot switches to Alt Hold. Some heli's, especially higher power to weight ratio ones, can turn into like a possessed demon and start doing vertical tick tocks if that setting is missed. Like 0.200 or 0.250 would be what I would consider a safe starting point for heli's on that one.
Anyway, just kind of wondered if that's possible. For somebody more experienced that knows what they're looking for when something bad happens, maybe not a big deal. But for somebody new, setting up a helicopter for the first time, it can be disasterous if they're not aware of it.
If it's not possible in the firmware, at least maybe have a param file available for heli pilots to load that puts in some "safe" values as a starting point for heli tuning for different sized helicopters.
