Hi everyone, 

Firstly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXXRqWgTupw&feature=youtu.be

That's the video of today, I apologise for the horrible quality, youtube was throwing up errors when I went to upload the higher quality version, at least this will give you an idea of what the quad was doing though. 

Basically as I was taking off the quad had a tendency to float back and left / right rather than maintaining is position. I was trying to actively correct it through controls however either through me being a very inexperienced controller or by the quad being a little to unstable I wasn't able to maintain an effective hover. 

Throttle wise I do have plenty of power, so although most flights here only go about a meter off the ground I can go higher, but I didn't wish to do so as hard landings are only going to break it and I need to sort out the control issues while I can throttle down easily. 

In terms of trouble shooting I've levelled the quad multiple times on a flat surface, but it doesn't seem to help much / at all. 

Is this level of 'instability' / floating (whatever you wish to call it) typical and you're simply meant to overcome it through control inputs, or should it be able to maintain a more vertical hover than this unassisted? 

P.s. I have a magnetometer enabled if that makes a difference. 

Cheers.
