I have mounted the AQ board off center on my octo and have seen control differences. The AQ uses the accelerometers a lot and their sensed value will be off if the board in not in the center of your craft. My octo will do missions and return to home with the AQ board off center around 8" in a craft with 42" motor to motor distance. I did move the board back to the center because it caused unusual flight control and it looked like the octo might lose control at some point.

As LPR wrote, it is rather risky because AQ, for now, has not any offset parameters to compensate calculations for not central positon of FC.
