Drone Immediate Flip on Takeoff

When a drone flips immediately upon attempting to lift off, the flight controller is experiencing a critical thrust imbalance. This manifests as the drone rapidly rotating or flipping along one of its axes rather than rising vertically. Verify this by ensuring the flight controller is not reporting pre-arm error messages and that the drone is placed on a flat, level surface during initial throttle input.
