Hello,

I'm considering building a heavy lift drone for a competition.  The drone design would be similar to the link below. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ8ZFFjOzII

There would be 2 main rotors powered by a single gas engine, and 4 smaller rotors, each with its own electric motor in the corners. I'd imagine that the control system would be a bit complex since the 2 systems (gas and electric) need to work together and there needs to be feedback in regard to the 2 main rotors (some kind of tach could be used). 

Does Modal AI have a flight controller that could control such a system? If not, is there anything you'd recommend?

Regards,
Sam
