At the end of the flip, the copter will climb. Is it possible to control how much the copter rises during the climb (increase or decrease the climb distance depending on a parameter)?

@Carlou ,
I’m afraid not. Flip simply increases the throttle by 20% and this percentage is not configurable…

Is it possible to request it to be configurable on a future release?

@Carlou ,
Yes, enhancement requests can be added by anyone (with a GitHub login) to the issues list. . We can’t promise when it will be implemented though because each developer decides what they want to work on and the list of to-do items is always growing.
IMO it qualifies as a good first issue. Though I would add sanity checks on the parameter.

Continuing the discussion from Flip - flight mode :
Will this added new enhancement be added in the next release?

Even if it was added to the Issues List (was it?) I would think it unlikely to be any kind of priority to make it. Have you seen the list?

According to this it has pass all checks already.

PR for issue 22391:
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/22391
Chan… ges made:
-Added two new parameters, FLIP_MODE and FLIP_THROTTLE to Parameters.h
-FLIP_MODE determines which direction the flip is defaulted to
-FLIP_THROTTLE is the modifier for the throttle level at the exit of the maneuver.
-If there is a pitch or roll input > 300 in either direction the copter will flip in that direction. This means no change for pitch input determining direction, but the roll input has been 'widened'.
-If the controls are in a neutral position, flip mode logic has been changed to test the FLIP_MODE parameter default value and will set the roll_dir and pitch_dir values accordingly.
-Pilots initial throttle input is saved at the start of the maneuver
-Upon exiting the maneuver, if the throttle adjustment is positive, the throttle is set the lowest value between 1 and _flip_start_throttle+FLIP_THROTTLE.
-Otherwise, FLIP_THROTTLE is negative and the throttle is adjusted to the highest value between 0.0 and _flip_start_throttle + FLIP_THROTTLE.
Defaults are currently set to FLIP_LEFT and 0.0 throttle adjustment via Config.h

Ah OK, I was wrong. Looks like the PR pusher has more work to do.
