GUESS WUT! I finally got my 450 size quad with apm 2.8 flying perfect! It turned out that that bottom plate that hangs off those two poles I was strapping my battery to was loose. there was a screw missing so it would allow one end to swing back and forth and I never noticed it so I bet that's why my copter would always wanna tilt different ways when I'd try to lift off. I couldn't find a screw to replace it so I took it off and just strapped the battery up underneath between the poles and I did have to switch from a 3s to a 4s as well cause for some reason my powers want more power and just won't take off with a 3s. It's so weird, I ordered these marspower 920kv motors from aliexpress and for months I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't fly and now I know! Why does everyone else seem to use 3s batteries with no problem but I can't!
