Have you compared to real to see which mu fits well?

This PR adds a ground effect plugin. It uses Eq. 15 from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.08027.
The drone flies to a range of hover heights and samples the commanded thrust and actual height per stage. The mean values are then displayed on a scatter plot.
It is visible that the commanded thrust decreases the closer the drones gets to the ground - not by much but 1% is 1%.
