2- When Battery Failsafe is active, there is no need for On-Off

I could not quite understand that, can you explain it better?

4- Having a separate section like “Initial Parameter Setup”

You would have to specify all the components of such a section, like maybe pump parameters, and convince someone to implement it.

5- Big Engine (such as Hobbywing X6, X8, X9, X11) - Automatic for Propellers - Recommended PID - Filter parameter setting section. 23 inch - 30 inch - 34 inch -36 inch Propellers .

I’m working on something similar, if it can even be done. It’s difficult to recommend default PIDs for any copter because the the size and weight distribution, component selection, battery and probably even wiring can all make quite a difference.
The “problem” with Ardupilot is it can operate so many different platforms and such a huge variety of components and combinations - that setup and tuning can be complex. Of course this is derived from necessity and demands by users and use-cases.

Collecting good param files

I’m hoping to collect good working parameter files from all forms of multirotors. The copter should be working quite reliably and well tuned. Recent firmware version too, no old APM flight controllers! I will enter the data into a spreadsheet and check for trends in parameters based on more than just prop size and battery cells (like the Initial Parameters screen in MissionPlanner does now). I wont necessarily be focusing on just PIDs, but anything that looks relevant. The goal being to come…
