take off problems

[Fraser]

When I start to fly, the copter does flips and goes all over. Anyone have advice on what this could be?

 

[Charles Bruckner]

Do you have the correct props on the motors.
you might have a clock wise prop on a counter clockwise motor.

 

[Charles Bruckner]

I forgot to ask is this the first time you are attempting a flight?
what model of craft is it?

 

[Fraser]

It's a 350 qx blade. I'll double check these blades, thanks for the suggestion. I'll add throttle, but when it should be taking off, it starts flipping over one way really fast, multiple times instead.

 

[Charles Bruckner]

I defiantly sounds like you have the props swapped.

another way is to have a mate hold down the craft while you throttled up and if you feel any air flow upwards above the props
that is a dead giveaway.
Just be careful that you don't loose a finger.
And you trust your mate to hold it properly.

 

[Fraser]

Ok awesome I'll give that a whirl! It'd be awesome if that's what it was.
Thanks again

Another thing to check is the gains settings on your controller and trim controls and make sure they aren't
buggered.

Hi +1 to what Charles said props on wrong , most quad set up are 2 front props turn towards each other the 2 back away from each other ( looking on top with back arms towards you) when plug the quad in dont move it or touch it or the transmitter for 3/5 seconds to allow gyros to set up if it has GPS it may take a little longer watch the signal light on the quad so you know when its ready to fly

my quadcopter was doing the exact same thing because the control board came with the roll gyro reversed.
