Has anyone tried the flight deck on an octocopter?  
From going through the setup it appears this is a valid option and with 8 pwm outputs I can control all the motors.

Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything

The Flight Core portion on the Flight Deck is very similar to a standard Pixhawk with very close to stock PX4. There are 8PWM, so if you assign all of them to motors in an Octo configuration, it should work as any other PX4 flight controller would work.
