You have to explain better:
Does the Copter takes off? Or it moves to left when opening throttle? Does he jaw or move?

When setting up the GPS, in the software make sure you entered a negative number for the vertical plane of the GPS unit. It would seem like you should enter a positive number since the GPS unit sits above the body, but the number actually reflects how far the body is below the GPS antenna. So if you used the stock carbon stick, you would want to enter a value of -9.

I had a hell of a time with this on my Naza until a friend told me this. If you pay close attention to the little green and red lines and what they mean on the screen it should help.

If that is not the problem.. then ???!
:D

Tripple check that your motors are connected to the right ports on the Naza controller.

+1 on that, your assistant seems ok for what i can see. Once your MR flies, CHANGE THE PROPS! :)
When you lifted off the first time , that was in Atti and had the same problems?
Switch the IOC Function off for now during your tests.

for the first test i always hold the multi in my hand and do the CSC then just barely give it throttle and see if it wants to hover or tilt. If it wants to tilt then you probably have a motor or prop going backwards.
Try in ATTI mode (yellow flashing) and if it wants to hover straight and not tilt then you probably have a GPS issue you need to figure out.

Thx meme!!! Got me straightened out in under 5 minutes. The winds is 18mph with gusts upto 25 and its dark but i had it up in my front lawn. Gps mode is nice! I still had to add a little cyclic to get it up of the grass. But this thing is SUPER stable when its up. I'll see how it does in the am. Please no toilet bowl! LOL

hover down the middle of the street for about 50ft. If quad should drift some either to the left or right. Turn the GPS a tad the opposite way of the drift until you can hover down the street in a straight line and that should take care of the toilet bowling.
Do this in GPS mode.
