With some rc-helicopter experience it is flyable. But now I know, why all these small quadcopters are gyro stabilized. The limitation of the FDM is, that it works with constant RPM for all four rotors and varies the collective. Most (all?) real quadcopters have fixed rotors with individual engines. Adding some gyro stabilizers should not be so hard with some nasal coding. There were some mails about a year ago about his topic; I will see, if Andreas, who asked for the FDM, has a 3D-model now. I think for CVS we should have a (at least simple) 3D-model.
