PID - Arduino Quadcopter

Can anyone suggest the best practices for tuning the PID for quadcopter?

I am trying with random values, which is killing all my time. I do have some basic knowledge in PID, but is there actually any shortcut methods for finding the stable PID gains for stabilizing the quadcopter?

Any sort of help is appreciated.

Thanks, tried it already, but no hope.
