I'm having trouble getting the arducopter in the air with just the radio controls.
Here's a GIF of what happens:
This is the HW used: http://rtf.3drobotics.com/product_p/acrtf2.htm
It doesn't seem like the copter responds to the other controls(roll, pitch, yaw) other than throttle.
Using the arducopter 3.0.1 with APM 2.5
I did the radio calibration in the mission planner: the roll, pitch, yaw, throttle look good within the max/min ranges.
Any suggestions how i should go about debugging this problem?

We finally fixed this issue and it's in the air!
The motors were in the correct direction, the problem was that it was in "All-at-once ESC calibration mode" http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/initial-setup/esc-motor/
We didn't complete the motor setup step after:
"Make sure there are no propellers on your copter!! Turn transmitter on. Connect battery. Arm copter by holding the left stick to throttle full down and yaw full right (bottom-right corner) for four seconds. Apply throttle, and observe and note spin direction of each motor."

A flip is usually due to motors spinning wrong directions, incorrect prop orientations or possibly selecting the wrong type of firmware to apply (clicking on Hex rather than Quad for example.
