ArduPilot Mega 2.x support Hunter-Vtail frame ??

Search for Matt Wellington on this forum and you will find some v-tail usage of the arducopter. His got a blog with some entries. Those blog entries are about Octo/hexa though V-tail It's not nativly supported as far as I know. Maybe his got Arducopter mixing code examples available if you want to fiddle around. Just a thought.

I would like to see predefined v-tail frame setups in the Arducopter, would be nice. As there are frame kits available commercially for Quad Vtail, an optimized motor mixing for Q-Vtail in Arducopter would be nice.

I would guess Y4 mixing works (close in mixing), but not optimal. haven't tried that, just read it works. I think you can read about that at multiwii forum. I have only used Q-Vtail using multiwii and defining custom motor mixing values for this. People say Y4 mixing works for Q-vtail on multiwii but not optimal.

Multiwii got native v-tail support for quad nowdays (2.0), as predefined config option.earlier you had to go for Y4 or write custom mixing in Multiwii. In Multiwii is also very easy to write your own motor mixers, due to clever design regarding the motor mixers.

It would be great to be able help out with the development of this platform with the APM, however the availability and access to this frame is severely hindered by the current production limitation and location of production. How do you plan to address this and get it within the United States for example? What is the possibility to get some licensing agreements in place for production? I would be willing to explore this with someone if they agree.
