Got everything "working correctly" but can't get off the ground, due to eratic behavior as soon as it gets an inch off the ground making it flip. I hold it with one hand while I try to test inputs but it still feels like it wants to go everywere at once. I'm able to meet any where in CO.

Check your motor mappings. It sounds like you might have some mixed up.

Thank you, I will do that tonight. Should I just map at idle or all the way up full speed for a while?

Keep the props off for safety! However by mapping I mean to double check all of the connections from the ESC to the APM board and ensure they are in the correct slots. if you mix those up then the copter will flip as it takes off because it spins up the wrong motors to get level.

I thought you were refering to the telemetry recording. I'm tracking now. Thank you. I'll dod that after I leave work this evening. I bealive I have done that already but it wont hurt to double check.

Lol I have issues with it being out of control as soon as I try to take off. It does something new every time I rev up. It spins, or flips never the same. I would have to tell you when Im back in Denver. I just took off today for a job in TX. I took it with me to work on it. Thanks for keeping up man
