After investigating this for a while, I doubt there will be anyone who has made a quad using a PIC and PicBasic Pro. You need a lot of compute power to manage the drive to the 4 motors, handle the accelerometer, gyroscope, etc. Not a trivial task.

I would not argue that it is difficult. Certainly well past my grade level so how can I judge? That said, motor speed is handled by a servo pulse and I think tilt sensors are manageable - certainly there are many "balancing" robots based on PICs. As Jerson says, it may be impossible, but how impossible? Cars that drive themselves impossible or warp engine impossible? That, my friend, is left as an exercise for the bold of heart.
I going to use external ESC manager with pulseout this way the board is small and easy.
I like to test the Power of PicBasic Pro with this projects is going to be open source for the pic users.
I have done a Micro Turbine ECU in the past it was hard but now is working perfect any people set this can not be done by PicBasic Pro and is Done and Working.

Thanks to all input
I going to start as soon as possible i have to buy parts like 32bit pic or 16bit and MPU-6000/6050 Six-Axis (Gyro + Accelerometer)
My Hobbies is PicBasic PRO
this one can make the job 18F4550 i have some code done i have to buy the parts and test

Never say never.
Take a look at the other BASIC's radio control quad copter reciver to pic interface code post.
