One of the cool features of the Mission Planner is that you can load and save configuration files. So you can not only have different files for different aircraft, but also share them with others.
This is particularly handy for common airframes. Once someone has tuned one well, they can upload their configuration file and save others the trouble of having to go through the same process.
I've now created a place in the APM and ArduCopter wikis that you can use to share configuration files. Please post your files in the comments here and I'll upload them to the relevant wikis as they come in.
The APM Configuration File Repository is here.
The AC2 Configuration File Repository is here.
*** Note, 2.0.26, and 2.0.27 had a flaw that switched Alt_hold and Simple mode. Don't fly it. This is fixed in 2.0.28. ***

The Skywalker X5 is listed, but the photo is of the X8. I have an X8, and would love to have a more refined starting point for flying it, but not if it is for the X5!
Thanks!
...sorry, i shouldn't say we'd only open it up to RTF frame manufacturers...but we do need some ownership of individual files and frames can vary a lot. They can vary a lot depending upon the weight, the motor, etc...that's why RTF copters would be easier because the manufacturer would likely produce many identical copters so better chance of getting a set that will definitely work.
I think since we've moved to github that configuration file repository is not being kept up to date. For ArduCopter we've started putting them into this directory in github. I think we're going to add a drop-down somewhere in mission planner to allow people to more easily pick a parameter file to upload.
I've been thinking that we should open it up so that RTF frame manufacturers can put their param files there as well.
The key to making a good parameter file is to only include the parameters that need to be changed from the defaults. So for example, the big list above, although helpful also includes parameter which are certainly not related to the frame and should not be applied to another user's board. For example all the RCX_ parameters..those are specific to that person's transmitter channel range. The COMPASS_OFFS_X,Y,Z only work for that particular person's board.
can not attach the config file?
Hi all here is a config file for the hobbyking Phantom FX-61,flys real nice love this plane for fpv and even better with an apm installed
Here's one for E-Flight Apprentice. These PIDs were tuned using a pretty heavy plane, with 4000mah lipo, and with FPV system and upgraded motor. I suggest not going over 0.7 for the P-gain term on the pitch, as I observed a pretty big porpoise and overshoot. 0.5 gave the best response/stability with small values for D and I to help with wind.

Posted a P-File for the Skyhunter here..
http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/skyhunter-param-file
Does anyone have a good Skywalker x8 parameter file for me?
somebody has the PID of the SkyWalker 168cm? thanks
@Chris : The Config file for Bixler is not Available.
Can I use the Default PID from Arduplane 2.40 with APM2 with Bixler.
