i have a q brain 30 amp esc system which was calibrated but im not sure how to recheck this - i have checked the motors/ propellers and they are all correct i have select quad x mode on the kk flight board and these are the settings i used:

Motor 1 Mixer Editor Settings
• Throttle: 95
• Aileron: -34
• Elevator: 94
• Rudder: 78
• Offset: 0
• Type: ESC
• Rate: High
Motor 2 Mixer Editor Settings
• Throttle: 95
• Aileron: 34
• Elevator: 94
• Rudder: -78
• Offset: 0
• Type: ESC
• Rate: High
Motor 3 Mixer Editor Settings
• Throttle: 82
• Aileron: -71
• Elevator: -71
• Rudder: -100
• Offset: 0
• Type: ESC
• Rate: High
Motor 4 Mixer Editor Setting
• Throttle: 82
• Aileron: 71
• Elevator: -71
• Rudder: 100
• Offset: 0
• Type: ESC
• Rate: High
Roll (Aileron)/Pitch (Elevator) PI Settings
• P Gain: 50
• P Limit: 100
• I Gain: 25
• I Limit: 20

Yaw (Rudder) PI Settings
• P Gain: 55
• P Limit: 20
• I Gain: 60
• I Limit: 10

Self-Level Settings
• P Gain: 42
• P Limit: 56
• ACC Trim Roll: 0
• ACC Trim Pitch: -3

The quad doesnt seem to want to take off straight when i am gentle with the throttle, it just lifts on one side then the props catch and it flips - if i go to full throttle on take off - it will take off but it will just turn in the air and crash

if anybody could take a look at these settings and let me know if im going wrong at all id be hugely grateful - i just cant see what is wrong i have gone through everything 3 or 4 times - i am considering completely rebuilding from scratch - would it affect the settings if i was to build the sk450 frame without the deadcat conversion on it?

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the KK boards. But why is the throttle value different on the motors? Could this be the issue?

Did you do the normal throttle/ESC cal directly from your RX throttle channel?

Most of the time it's one of three things that I can think of.
1. props on wrong motor one or more.
2. motors spinning wrong direction ( swap two of the three wires on the problem motor.)
3. flight control board not faced forward.
