i lossesned the nuts, did the world of ggod, it actuaklly took off without tiopping backwardfs, just still abit wobbbly aftyerwards
HELP! PID settings need help- reward to help

yeah they are wired up cause i had a test flight and it flew up then just wobbled and fell

also i got it just to go straigh up, then it just roledr to the right and crashed
it a straight up all the motors will match about the same speed. to stabilize it will speed up and slow down motors. you rather have a PID issue now and need to lower or raise or you have 2 motors swapped.
Check your motors and props, if that is not the problem then your P gain is WAY too high. To adjust set I and D to 0, then adjust down untill you don't have ocilations. Be sure to power cycle the quad every time you make an adjustment or two as the I gain is determined over time.
Once you get the P gain turned down until there are no oscillations then turn the I gain up until you get slow speed oscillation, then nudge it back down until you are good. If it is too high you will get slow speed oscillations, if it is too low you will get slow drifting over time that gets worse.
if you have D do it the same, too high then dial it back down, you have to adjust in that order P>I>D.
If not PIDs then is likely your motor orientation in your settings, the motors are plugged in the wrong order, or props are on wrong.
Motor orientation, note that it is different than most quads.

Plug them in from right to left

i managed to get it to take off, but it loves to lean back and crash, and its also not consitent, it will be stable one time then the next it will be wobblyCheck your motors and props, if that is not the problem then your P gain is WAY too high.

i gain of pitch? or what?
and yes it does
I gain of the Axis that is giving you problems, if you have a square quad your roll and pitch should be linked.
