If you’ve ever found yourself in a bit of a pickle with your drone flipping over on takeoff, fret not—you’re certainly not the only one. This common conundrum usually boils down to a confused flight controller (FC) sending the wrong signals to your motors, resulting in what can only be described as an aerial disaster. Betaflight has a runaway protection feature that tries to save the day, but it’s best to keep your wits about you, especially during those first heart-stopping moments.
So, what’s causing this mischief? Well, it could be anything from a misaligned FC (remember, the arrow should point forward) to incorrect motor mapping or direction. Even the propellers might be having an identity crisis—mixing clockwise and counterclockwise props can lead to some rather ungraceful flips. And if you’ve made all these checks and your drone still has other ideas, don’t throw in the towel just yet; sometimes the smallest detail is the culprit.
For a more detailed look at how to remedy these pesky issues, we recommend checking out the full guide. It’s as essential as a cup of tea on a dreary British afternoon.
