If you have a ground tailboom mode, you can use a stability system to damp it out. However, you add a series of complications which include needing a very reliable weight on gear switch that turns these gains on for ground operations and off for flight operations.
It would probably be more efficient to cure the tailboom mode by changing the frequency response of the tailboom by other methods.
