Quad rotor wants to kill me ;)
Hi,
The Arduquad rotor has firmware 2.0.43 and it will do one of 3 things when I go arm the motors and fly it.
1. It will take off and fly twards me and I can't get good control of it having me to force land it(pull throtle low)
2. One side will jump up and flip its self over lanching the blades all over the place
3. the blades will spin up and the blades will shoot off.
I make sure the conections are tight be for every run. I make sure props are tight on motors.
Any suggestions? (all the settings beside enabling sonar and compass are in there default state.)
Thanks,
Rick

Well, if your blades come off at any point, they're not tight enough. Try some thread lock. Since the blades are not tight enough, this could also lead to your other issues... It is also imperative that your blades be balanced. Unbalanced blades can cause your gyros to think that the copter is in an orientation that it is not (noise). Please give it a try.

How do you balance your blades?
I use tape. It was in the wiki.....

I recommend you upgrade to the latest code and try again. I think it may eliminate one of you issues at least (mostly through a PID change)
