I've been thinking...

I've noticed that ground interaction has been known to be troublesome automated takeoffs and landings.

My IEEE student chapter robotics team has been playing with pressure sensitive resistors recently. I was thinking of making some feet out of these sensors, and mounting them at the four corners of the landing gear to provide a seperate feedback control for when the heli is interacting with the ground. Would that be a useful feature? I think my team and I could probably code that.
