Sorry if this has been posted but I searched several ways. My quad flies beautifully. Problem is it seams every-time I fly I have to re-trim for level hands off hovering. Once done the thing is flyable in every way. I cannot figure it out though. Every now and again I can plug and go no issues. Battery placement is the same every time. Am I missing something in the start-up procedure that s throwing it off. Startup is turn on transmitter, flip quad on its back and plug battery in. Flip back over and activate the board with the transmitter, take off. Board will religiously go one way or the other and with a couple of quick trim inputs it flies level. Anybody else ever have this problem and want to point out what I am doing wrong?

when you power up the board you must let it sit level for at lest 10 sec not moveing at all

Will give that a go, it would explain it as I am pretty quick to flip it back over. Will plug in upright and wait and see how that works. Thank you...

Are you flying in rate? Have you properly tuned your quad? Just curious. As it drifts, is it rolling off axis?

sometimes, warmed up motors/esc can react diferent as well as they cool or heat up. specially if motors have drag in them from poor bearings. those little issue can make a quad drift..

Still flying "attitude", only performed the setup 101 on the copter. I need to go through the tuning procedure yet but it flies pretty nice.
