Hello Gerard, it's generic. I need to check, which helicopters are doing it "correct" and which helicopters are doing it as one would expect (0 deg = forward) and which helicopters do not depend on this flapping angle (you can use cone-deg, roll-deg and cone-deg instead). Maybe it is easier to modify the source than to modify many helicopters.
