    Hey I'm new here as well as to UAV's, wanted to introduce myself as well as ask for some advice.
    Right now I am having serious issues getting myself off the ground.
    My build:
    Hover Things FPV Flip Frame
    SunnySky X2212-10 KV 1250 II Motors
    VeloTech Magic 30A ESC's with SimonK
    Turnigy 3300 mAh Battery
    MegaPirate/Multiwii AIO Pro Flight Controller (aka Crius AIOP V1.1)
    and I'm using a Spektrum DX8 and 6-channel reciever.

    I had trouble setting up the MultiWii interface software but finally got it running successfully. However, now i'm encountering more frustrating issues than software. (I plan on ordering a CC3D board to replace my current one ASAP as i don't like the interface and it's hard to troubleshoot since it's not overly popular.)

    Moving on, my problem seems to be either overall power, or the ESC's.
    When starting up, as i slowly throttle up, the left rear motor will kick on, followed by the right rear at about 50%, then the front two will kick on close to each other but at almost 75%+. In addition, when i power up to max with all motors running and allow it to sit, the left rear motor will slowly whine and slow until stopping, same with the front right.
    Overall, to me it sounds like a power issue, either from bad power from the distributor or from the ESC's. In the GUI i can see that the controller is receiving the signals properly but i can also see that the power to the motors is improper.

    Anyone with experience in this please, any advice is appreciated, or advice on another board/software that is easier to work with for a beginner would be nice as well.

    Apologies if this is the wrong thread, still new here!

    Thanks!
