I got my quad off the ground this morning and it worked perfectly with NO tuning needed! NONE! And I'm not using a stock frame either, I'm using a Mikrokopter 50cm frame with some modifications for vibration isolation (just an extra platform with some rubber grommets + nylon bolts)...
Setup:
APM/Oilpan
KDA motors from Hobbyking
HK SuperSimple ESCs with high-rate Quax PPM firmware
Turnigy 5000 3cell
Turnigy 1000 2cell battery for electronics
Spektrum DX7 + AR6100
Mikrokopter 50cm frame
APC 10x4.7 props
Electronics are housed in a Radio Shack project box... I've landed upside down before and really don't want to break anything :)
The system was very easy to get up and running (especially when compared to AeroQuad, which requires a lot more assembly work with the shield, etc). Wireless telemetry via XBee was a snap, and the configurator worked awesome as always (well done, Mikro!).
Stable mode was absolutely amazingly stable... It's less "noticeable" than other stable modes I've dealt with, too. It just seems to do what it should, without any fuss... Acro flew well too, very predictable without any obvious jitter or wobbliness.
Overall, I'm totally stoked, and super excited to get a chance to try all of the position holding stuff once it's released! Again, thanks, well done, and keep up the good work!

thats is a very stable fight, well done.
Any photos of your setup?
I'm quit interested because I'm using exactly the same parts.
