Drone Flip Due to Incorrect Propeller Placement

The most common cause for an immediate flip is an incorrect propeller configuration, where propellers are either installed on the wrong arms or upside down, creating a thrust vector that opposes the drone's intended lift. Confirm this by removing all propellers and inspecting each rotor position. Verify that the propeller type (CW or CCW) matches the required rotation for that specific motor arm according to the manufacturer's diagram. Visually check from above that each propeller's leading edge matches the direction of motor rotation.
