```c++
#include <AFMotor.h>
AF_DCMotor motor1(ESC1);
AF_DCMotor motor2(ESC2);
AF_DCMotor motor3(ESC3);
AF_DCMotor motor4(ESC4);
void setup() {
  // Initialize motors
  motor1.setSpeed(0);
  motor2.setSpeed(0);
  motor3.setSpeed(0);
  motor4.setSpeed(0);
}
void loop() {
  // Control motor speeds based on flight control inputs
  int speed1 = getFlightControlInput(1);
  motor1.setSpeed(speed1);
  int speed2 = getFlightControlInput(2);
  motor2.setSpeed(speed2);
  int speed3 = getFlightControlInput(3);
  motor3.setSpeed(speed3);
  int speed4 = getFlightControlInput(4);
  motor4.setSpeed(speed4);
}
```
