Tricopter pitching forward and to right on take of

[apollo7]

As above, i have shifted the battery as far back as i can but when i give it stick it tries to pitch forward onto front props, also it wants to roll to the right, not committed it to a full take of as it seems like it will just crash and not got it over grass as yet, any suggestions

Sounds like incorrect motor assignment and or duff level calibration
The roll bit makes it more motor problem.

As hoverfly - Open the software check the orientation of the FC (front is front etc.)
Motor test props off, checking the number is actually where you think it is and the motor is going in the right direction.

Then check level and put the props back on (carefully checking pitch).

I have redone the FC level setup, this was out a fair bit and might well have made the FC compensate by bringing up the rear, i had to shim the back of the legs by 8mm to get it level.  I also see i can take of in auto level and its super easy to make adjustments in the field to get it flying so i need a trip to a grass field

What FC is it?

As above make sure the ESCs are plugged into the correct outputs and check your channel reverse settings on the FC, make sure it goes the right way.

one small confession, the right motor was spinning wrong direction, this sorted the roll to right as it had no lift, but now it seems to want to spin on axis as it lifts, gonna take a break from it for a day or so then i will come back to it with new energy, just sorted my S550 out ready for flight and treated it to a new gimbal i had sitting about

Reverse the YAW servo on the FC

Reverse the YAW servo on the FC

I forgot to say KK2 FC.............with the servo when i push the yaw to the right on the stick should the servo tilt to the right or left?
Appreciate all the replies as always

yaw left tail left if your behind it .
I had a few days of head scratching on my tri copter

Still confused, stick left looking from behind, does servo lean motor to left

The motor has to go opposite to the stick input, so the nose of the tricopter goes in the direction of the stick.

Cheers DB, i will make amends as it goes in direction of stick at the mo

DONE, reversed it on KK2 board

I used the video to do the set up, David is a genius

Making progress, i just had it a tiny bit of the ground, just need weather to improve to take it to the field
