Flight Controller for a Hoop Copter

I am looking into building a hexa (or more) copter that is built on a ring with no central structure/frame.

Has anyone figured out how to use multiple flight controllers to determine orientation/movement?  I wouldn't be able to put the controller in the middle and so a pitch or roll movement would also look like a climb or descent.  

Initially I thought that 3 Pixhawks could be used, but then realized 3 IMU's and something like a linux autopilot would make more sense.  Is there one that has this functionality already?
