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 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.
