APM 2.5 not stabilizing quad

Hey guys

I seem to be having an issue with quad flight stability. When it takes off it just flips to one side. I tried lowering the proportional gain, it made the flipping maneuver less aggressive but the quad still tilted to one side when taking off and it cost me a propeller. I am using the  X600 frame with 4 700kV  hobby king motors. I've included a picture of the frame. Does anybody have any experience using this frame? If so what gains do you guys recommend? Maybe  I should lower all gains to the least value possible and start from there? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Verify if you do not fall under onr or more of these causes :

    -you did not calibrate your APM level. You should do that from the mission planner, hardware, then push the "Accel calibration" button, then follow the messages.

    -one (or more) motors do not turn in the right direction (see wiki : http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_props_2/)

    -you did not attach the right propellers on the right motors

    It has nothing to do with your gains because wrong PIDs do not make a quad tilt in a certain direction (it could make it flip though).
