Tried to get it off the ground last night. It wants to flip over as soon as it's about to take off. I calibrated the ESC several times. I confirmed that I have the motors spinning correctly and that I have the props in the correct position. Any ideas?

Awesome! Thanks for your help

This is my first quad. It's an S500 eBay build. I'm almost ready to fly. Just waiting on my battery charger. I'm basically done with the build. I just noticed however that one prop adapter is too large. It will fit the motor shaft and tighten on the prop. But it is clearly larger than the rest...

Got the prop balancer. I got them pretty well balanced I think. Even if they are not perfect. They are much better than when I started. Thanks for the good advise!

The Props that came with the kit are called 1045. I'm going to assume that means they are 10x4.5. Do you think these would work for now or is there a good reason to upgrade right away? Also, I have never flashed anything before. I am just a beginner. Where do I go to find this "Flash"

Here it is so far.

WOW!! That guy can fly! That was great

That was a very good video to share with me. Thanks! I think I am going to be a little more careful than I originally thought I had to be.

Howdy! So my son and I are building our first quadrotor. I have no real experience with RC vehicles but I sure love to tinker with stuff. So we started doing research and buying parts. We setteled on an S500 quadrotor frame, with sunnysky 980kv motors, 4x30amp SimonK ESC, and a kk2.15 flight...
