Back in March, I purchased the F550 kit and finally got it ready to fly yesterday. The results were downright disappointing as can be seen in the attached video clip. This is especially true due to the time and effort that went into checking everything thoroughly using the assistant software. Things like GPS placement, proper motor rotation, correct prop installation, control stick motion, gain settings, correct switch operation for Mode and IOC, CG with the controller right over that point, just about everything I could think of. The radio is a DX8 with AR9000 with slave receiver. For the first flight I used 1038 props and a 2200mah battery. The system appeared to set up correctly with a couple of green flashes followed by alternating red and green and within a minute, only green. I also initiated and performed a compass cal.
This the first flight attempt:

After verifying rotations, props, stick motions etc. I strapped it down and tried again. This was tried in both GPS mode and ATTI mode. In manual mode I did not really see the drastic lifting on the right.

One other thing that I noticed after these tied down tests was that after about the fourth try, the LED started blinking red. The batteries were fully charged to start with.
Any and all ideas, suggestion greatly appreciated.
