XAircraft First flight problems.

Hey guys, I just finished building my first hex with a SuperX. I was flying a Naza before, but a failure somewhere consigned it to the briny deep.

All of my test flights have had the same problem. It acts like it is at full left rudder. It will take off, but it spins to the left at ever increasing speed until it crashes back down. I've calibrated everything a dozen times and it doesn't seem to get better or worse. I tried setting my trims to maximum right rudder and it didn't seem to change anything at all, still a fast spin to the left. I'm scratching my head on this one. I expected the calibration to fix it.

Here's the setup:

AGL UAV-V2 650mm Hexa frame
SuperX
Spektrum DX8 w/AR8000
3508-580KV Turnigy Multistar
Afro 30A esc

I can get pics and video if necessary.

Ok, I got stupid all over myself there.

I figured out that I had reversed every single motor. 1, 3 and 5 were spinning clockwise, 2,4 and 6 were counter. I switched them all, moved every prop and she flies. It's shaky as hell, but I can get it tuned in.

Where are you at on gains?

That was my thought too. I'm at whatever it came with out of the box. Run into another hurdle though. This was the first model I put 6S batteries on and it turns out my charger won't charge them. I'll get it dialed in once the new one arrives. Thanks.
