Hey Everyone,
I was having some problems with my Autoquad. Recently, the quadrotor doesn’t go straight up on take off but rather drifts, sometimes forward and right, sometimes back or back and left.
I tried adjusting the battery which fits snug between the undercarriage columns but there is still drift.
Then I thought it might be a misreading of the horizon/ground level but when I connected the autoquad to the ground station, it showed the autoquad as being level on the ground.
I don’t know if this is a common or trivial problem but I was wondering if any of you had run into this and what you did to fix it.
I appreciate your help guys.

It's a normal behavior of a multirotor to start drifting very close to the ground due to vorticity. You should lift off as quick as possible with more throttle to a level a few feet above ground, where the ground effect has no impact on your multirotor.
