Long story short, I bought an Airblade Creampuff DIY kit, and gave up on it, being too small to work on and fit stuff on, like a Spektrum sat. I went to a Torrent 110, flew that for a while, upgraded the motors to ipower 7500kv, but gave up on it with it's poor esc. I then went to a Airblade Eclair V2, with a RacerCube F4: http://www.rotorvillage.ca/mobile/Product.aspx?id=37973

I can't get it to fly properly, however. On my first flight successful flight it felt like the lipo fell off and was hanging from the lead, causing a right yaw and roll that I had to constantly fight to land. Turns out it wasn't the lipo. Other times when testing the flying los, it suddenly just flails in the air and falls to the ground. Airmode also doesn't want to work right and this makes the other issues worse. When in airmode, the motors will blip more throttle in for no reason. Not enough to cause it to move in a different direction, but it isn't smooth.

I tried reflashing the esc, even updated to BF3.2 for it's dynamic filtering, changing startup power in blheli, as well as went from medium to medium high and high timing. Timing made things worse, and when I tried to hover, the quad shot backwards towards me, and another time just flipped itself over after it was a few inches high. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, BF shows the correct motors to be turning, and turning without issue.Gyro orientation is proper. I'm at a loss.

Personally I think I would go through every solder point. Looking for bad connections and cold solder joints.
Also a Black Box log would be very helpful. Especially for all the pros we have here.

please also check receiver connection, and make sure that's working properly (you can check that in the receiver tab in BF GUI)
