Quadrocopter Build - Part 6 - Stable-ish

Good news, I have got it to come very close to what you would call 'fly' :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYOsrRToJtg
I had to invert the yaw gyro on the board. I have to correct all of the controls on the transmitter (they were very off, and one was incorrectly inverted).
I went back to an X mode/config. Battery is close to dead but I really wanted to get one strait flight after all the things I fixed. I am on KK multicopter firmware v4.7.
Next will be an outdoor flight on a fully charged battery.

Here is a list of all items ordered to date. Some were not needed, some just for the fun of it. If I knew everything I would have needed up front I also could have saved on shipping.
