In my opinion, the main concern about coax configuration is the
efficiency of the lower rotors, which, from working in the wash of the
top rotors is greatly reduced. The scilab script I made for computing
the mixing matrix assumes equal efficiency for all rotors. In the case
of a coax configuration, you'll probably need a different Ct for the
top and bottom rotors.
