Vibration fixed

Well I went through the entire KKmulticopter board setup.  This site is the best I could find for setup instructions.  http://rcexplorer.se/Educational/kkguide/kkguide/quadx.html

You MUST follow those instructions or it will never get off the ground.

I did have to re-flash the Xcopter firmware a couple of times before I finally got it loaded correctly.
After that hurdle I followed those instructions above and after realizing that my Roll Gyro was reversed and my Rudder Gyro was reversed, I started to make serious progress to getting it airborne.  I also found that my rudder setting has to be reversed in my Spektrum DX6i transmitter.  So with all the bugs worked out its gonna fly right? NO! not the case.  I had a severe vibration in a couple of the motors.  The motor mounts we had fab'd were the issue.  They were bending inward under load and vibrating the hell out of the heli.  So I took them off and bolted the motors directly to the frame, fixed!  After that... the Xcopter leaped of the concrete!  See the videos.
