If I could only choose the three I think I would be inclined to want the + or the X. Simply because eventually I would want to pilot the thing and the straight puts a motor and rotor in the way.
We realize what we are doing is ahead of and beyond the available "consumer" flight controllers, educational research, as is with the ArduPilot Project. Again, you maybe assuming to much.

Sir, I recognize immediately where the diagrams came from.
Frame layout, motor direction, flight controller orientation, programming configuration, visual layout, maintenance feasibility, all have nothing to do with General Aviation safety standards.
What I am interested in seeing is the engineering criteria for the safety rating. I would like to evaluate that, please. And not just a general outline. I would like to evaluate the math being used to arrive at the specific rating, what vehicles were tested, and their specs, under what conditions, and review the flight logs and airframe strain gauge data from the FM tests.
That would be impossible to post here. If you have a Google Drive or something where I could get the data to review it, I would be willing to look it over, and that would work. This is the kind of work I do. PM me.
this looks like an incredible project. sorry i can not contribute but i do wish you the best and im totally subscribing to this thread right now!
Noooo Proooblemo! Well it really ain't ROCKET SCIENCE! But, it is amazing that there aren't a lot of "VIABLE" PMRs out there yet. The ONLY one we have seen which sealed the deal that we were going to make one, was Flying KXYZ on YouTube. This guy has already built over SIX DIFFERENT flying personal multirotors!
Thanks for following or subscribing! We will keep at it!
i only saw that one guy that used a ton of smaller motos all hooked together. does "PMR" stand for personal multirotor?
Yes, we have seen that one, heck we have seen them all! While it's cool, it isn't a "VIABLE" design to promote PMRs. Yes, PMR stands for Personal Multi Rotor! We are trying to build the "HOLY GRAIL" version of a PMR! One that will inspire or allow "MILLIONS" of Americans (and people around the WORLD) that, "hey, I want one, and I CAN ACTUALLY (AFFORD) BUILD one in my garage!" And, we are going to force the creation of "REASONABLE REGULATION" and integration of these doodads into being, so that they are no harder than a car to own and operate! This is AMUURRRICA!
We are talking with "Walmart" to see if they can put a PMR Landing Space in there parking lots! A first step in INTEGRATION!
I just noticed I misspelled Rotor in the title! ONID!
AWESOME! what is the early estimate for the cost of buying one? im guessing around 10k?
Here is your personal aircraft, already built, Type Certified and legal to fly. Very nice helicopter. I got 12.8 hours in a G2 - they been Type Certified in the US since 2015 and are now in common use at flight training schools in lieu of the venerable R22

The reason it is so expensive? A little formality called Type Certification. The manned multi-rotor advocates really don't get it, and obviously have no experience with real world general aviation. Sort of reminiscent of the early days of aviation when everybody was going to have one parked in their driveway. Never happened and never will with manned drones either. And it has nothing to do with technology. It has to do with regulation, training to fly it, and certification. There is no such thing as a cheap Type Certified aircraft. It costs $50,000-57,000 JUST to get a rotor wing rating for a private pilot to fly one.
Good luck with all that.
