Quadcopter advanced concept.

Good day everyone.
I am just curious about the feasibility of using a quad copter in an ultra-efficient RC aircraft for maximum flight time.
If quads use 4 motors, the motors would be placed along the "plane's"s wings.
1 2
3 4
/\front 1 3 4 2 (plane front view)
I have the maneuverability worked out for pitch, yaw, and roll using the differential thrust a quad copter provides. My question is using a raspberry pi for programming the gyro since roll and yaw are flipped. Also, are there pre configured kits with very large quadcopter prop diameters? Thank you for your time,

This is very efficient because there is always increased flow over the airfoils( 4 motors on a wing), and because all of the energy is put into thrust and not servos or something.
It is also very simple just being a battery, canted motors, and electronics.
 
I'm no boffin but pitch up maybe OK but down maybe a problem I think as if you throttle them motors up it will steal the airflow from over the wing. Causing drag. It will work to some extent. Why not design a VTOL, surely it will be a lot less complicated with less wiring & switches.
