XAircraft Large Pitch with new SuperX setup

I put a SuperX on my hexacopter after having a lot of issues with another flight controller and it worked great. Very easy to set up and fly with no issues. I was so happy with it I decided to put on on my Aeronavics CX-600 quad as well. I've taken it out for three tests now and although it's flying well for the most part, if I take it out of GPS mode it takes off backward to the point where I have to input almost 25% forward pitch to keep it hovering in place. I've checked that the motors are level and the props are balanced. I've checked the logs and one motor does seem to spin at a higher rate but not by much. The vibration is also well within tolerance. What else should I check?

Post the Black Box would help

First thoughts is the FC centered in the vehicle and pointing forward? is the vehicle balanced? are the motors and props balanced?

COG is good. Props are balanced. No idea how to balance a motor. Do T-Motors really need that. I have quite a few that have never given me an issue. Here is the Black Box Log. Thanks.

Sorry I meant motor leveling! but they do seem good! as does the BB!

Have you done a compass and radio calibration?...... at or close to the location you fly?

I hope some others will jump in now with advice
