Hi Daniel,
You can do a coax X8 right now with the stock code if you use a 'Y' servo cable and 2 ESCs per arm.

I have though about this. This would be coaxial config (not counter coax)

Anyone proved this?

How about the efficiency?

What was I thinking about? Same motor spining at the same directionbut upside down will be counter coaxial so using a Y servo may work.

However you wil get 1:1 up down speed ratio which is not desirable for max efficiency but maybe you can stand with it or to compensate with different pitch props.

Yes, my Y6 is happily flying, as the ACM 2 Codes support y6 coaxial setup...

But how about the X8 quad coaxial configuration. Anyone have this running with the Ardupilot Mission Planner and hardware? If so can you please provide details of hardware and GSC setup?
