Is their a Y4 or Vtail firmware available? I am looking for something that uses only the rear motors for yaw.

Hey, don't know if you are still looking for VTail firmware, but I made this: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/vtail-quadcopter-support
I need a little more info on fine tuning the rear motors in the V-Tail configuration also. I am using the vtail config in version 2.91 and I have everything dialed in pretty well other than the rear of my quad to sit lower than the front in hover. I assume due to the loss of lift since the motors are at an angle .
Is there a simple method of increasing the rpm of just the rear motors in increments so I can find the proper rpm to allow the quad to sit level? Maybe some simple way to adjust the ratio between front and rear? I have played with center of gravity to no end . The closest I have come to seeing the airframe level is running 13x5 props on the rear and 12x4.7 on the front.
I would like to make a Y4 or Vtail Quad configuration. So if anyone else is interested in expanding the the capabilities of APM 2.5 to the Y4 like I am, please respond to this and keep this thread alive.

Just question to Eric: have you already flown this configuration with your ArduCopter software modifications?
I'm asking because i really like this VTails and want to transform my tricopter to such Y4 quad.
Y4 can be done by making changes to thrust values in the AP_motorsX.cpp for the setup you're going to run. I don't know much about how the current Y quad code works, or how a V-tail quad should works, but I would start by looking at AP_motorstri.cpp.
