I would say be a little careful about what config file you use as an
example. There is some slightly goofy stuff that has crept into some
autopilots over the years. There are some stages that could easily be "P"
only, but are written as PID which leads to more hunting and oscillations or
long term errors than otherwise would be necessary.
