I guess you have more faith in the efficiency of those motors than I do.

Coming soon (in the next published build):

CopterControl now supports Futaba S.Bus receivers (0 min 36 sec)

Native S.Bus support requires only 3 wires from receiver to the board.

Oh very nice Oleg, I think the camera stuff is not far out either. Support for flybarless heli is also moving along. All very exciting.

i made a test setup to play with the pid settings.
i use 2 barrings to give free movement

Nice Idea, I would think you would want to use the same equipment used on your MultiCopter, same motor spacing and as close to the same weight as possible to get close testing.

i am going to test if bi copter is possible.

Why is this P-I-D setting must be done? Isn't this done with PC-"quadro..." configuration via PC where you set all settings?

+1 to be honest that is not gonna help you tune correctly. Just build a gyro stand to mount your copter on. I have seen a few diff ones but dont have a link.

four of these might get you there. The question is, what prop size?

There is a liink to PID test stands in the Quadrocopter and Tricopter Mega Link Index

heres my 10 inch quad almost done with cc control

@flyer_dad where do you buy a "frame"?

This is my first multicopter. My own design and built in the last two weeks. What you see (hopefully I will be successful in linking the video) here is a video of the first three flights. I was so exited I drained the pack, a good 12 minutes of flying I put back 2111mAh in to a 2200 3s pack. I was #45 on the first batch of CC boards in the US. I am totally satisfied.

I think it took me more time to edit the video than to actually build the quad.

First Quad (7 min 5 sec)

Without batteries it weighs 617.5 grams.
