By the way i would mount the futaba on the landinggear sideways. If you look in the manual of the futaba RX the two antenna should be separated from each other on a 90 degree angle. Having it directly mounted on top of the plate and the antenna just munched in somewhere will not give you a good performance for your TX RX setup.
There is enough space in the RC carbon landing gear and if you move out the MC to the edges of the centerplate the cables between RX and MC should also be long enough.

From the config i dont really see anything majorly wrong that would make your bird flip at take off !
Did you check everything from the cabling soldering side concerning the motor wiring ? Take off you props have the motors spin up and rock your bird forward back left right etc. and see if you hear feel any abnormalities on how the motors are regulated maybe you a have bad soldering point that comes to action with vibration certain movements that results in a motor dropping its performance.

munk actually the best would be get someone to hold the frame over his head by holding the booms. With props on give some gas and he person should start moving the copter forward back left right. The resistance or the motor compensation should be the same all the ways arround if it is not you now that you either wired something up the wrong way, have an issue with the props or something with the soldering it not working out. Actually the fastest and best way to test this. Just dont hassle the test over the head take all precautions that nothing dangerous can happen.

Hi again guys!
Well I dont know about you, but I´m pretty sure that the problem has been found - a software bug :frog: If it dosn´t help when I upgrade to 5.02 firmware, I´ll go nuts :cold:
Tomorrow I´ll hopefully have time to change ESC and motor, and test fly the bird with the new software. If that dosn´t solve the problem, I´ll try all the tips you have written to me. Thanks very very much, until now :tennis:

Balls of steel you are right though my standard statement when i go out and meet girls So Guys, I´ve tried with the new 5.02 firmware today, and this is what happend:

As you can see, its still very unstable. I´ve made the remote gain, and as I could see it begin to dance, I turned in down, but it was stille impossible to control.

Hi!
No redwire is not connected on any ESC.
It´s noise I know, could it be a timing problem?
Can you explain "I2C errors of MK"?
@redwire So no disturbance from that influence.
I know DJI, this system, has no I2C but it looks simular.
With MK you sometimes get interference of RF of EMC on the controlbus (I2C). We had a situation that the behavior of the machines looked the same.
Can it be groundloop or no ground?
Can your RF be the

Sorry, but can you better describe what you mean with "interference of RF of EMC on the controlbus (I2C)" and "groundloop or no ground" and "Can your RF be the" ?
Your not alone on this war. First flight of my octo with dji + herkules esc. Similar behaviour, increasing the basic gains up to 170 helped me to take off and go away from ground effect. Still unstable compared to the cx4 with the same equipment. First of all I needed to place the power module away from the esc as it made at first the while light blink continuously. Once separate that was solved but the flight conditions are still the same. Seems to me you are still playing low gains but high ones will not cure your problems at all, nor mines. Didn' t engage the atti mode and will not untill I feel comfortable in manual mode. Next steep put away the gps antena which is currently placed over the IMU, next try a different wire routing, disable the camera gimbal corrections, reprogram the esc, change the sign of the Z value in imu position to see if it has any relation and finaly prai to any of these changes solve the trouble. Have set two quads with dji and the two are fliying great from first flight.
