need flying advice

[ram1000]

A. I am attempting to bring my racing quad- I am not a racer- under my control. I notice that as I lift off the quad slightly leans forward and once in the air it wanders forward and turns right yaw ever so slightly. I have backed off the tabs to read "0" gain in any direction, but it seems not to find a neutral position. I suspect I could push a negative gain on these leanings but I don't understand why it wants to travel like this. There is no wind today at all so I'm not correcting for wind.

B. Secondly I crashed this thing from about 30 feet into the pine covered ground in the nearby mountains. That crash resulted in the receiver going bad and I had to buy another and rebind. This was not terribly expensive and quite easy to accomplish but I have never seen any comments on such a thing happening. I watch a lot of you tube trying to negate the learning curve and have not seen anyone that needed to replace that part in a crash. Any comments?

Hi mate most FCB need to be calibrated first you need you use sub trims to get all channels to read zero on the FCB monitor screen ( you may need to plug into a PC ) once all is zero calibrate acc with quad 100% level this will stop the drift

THis has been done in the past but would it go off? If so where do I find the specific calibration? I'm using Baseflight on a Naze32 clone. I don't recall seeing this specific variant on Baseflight.

Hi I have not used base flight but it will be there some where, the board needs to know what level is and all channels need to showing zero or it will be like a stick input but all the time
I found this in the manual it says used sub trims till all read 1500 on the receiver test
here is a link to the manual

Yea that is still set at 1500 across the board. Last night I ran the leveling program again so we'll see.

Hi it is a real must that its 100% level on all axis so use a level on it to make sure its right , also do all motor start and stop at the same time this can make the quad drift too

I ran the leveling program and it helped a little bit. I am now experiencing something else, though it may just be me. When I run the yaw lever one way or another the quad seems to want to climb excessively. Don't know if I am inadvertently throwing the throttle forward aat the same time but my little indoor NX clone also does this.

Could be, may this vid will help.
