I just purchased and setup the Flip MWC Flight Controller 1.5 for my new scratch built tricopter and I thought some might find this helpful. Although this is specific to the tricopter, there are several aspects you will find helpful for other multi-rotors using this FC.
Let me say first I am NOT an expert or very experienced in Arduino, multiwii or programming boards... I am a newbie to the multi-rotor hobby. I do have a Aeorsky 550 Hex that a buddy sold to me with the MultiWii pro FC, but it was already setup. MultiWii can be overwhelming, but it is not bad if you have someone to help you.
I made this video to help all the newbies like myself figure out how to get this setup as easily as possible.
In the following video there are a couple lines in Arduino that I failed to mention...
1) I deactivated the Aux2 channel, find the term "RCAUXPIN12" to locate this in the code
2) You may need to change your servo refreshrates if using a digital servo... I changed mine to 300Hz
3) Under HW PWM Servos, I uncommented "#define SERVO_PIN5_RFR_RATE 200" to further smoothout the tail servo

I hope you find this helpful... if you have any questions let me know, since I am a newbie I may not be able to answer, but I am sure someone can.
