Dear APM users, I need your valuable inputs to resolve this issue.
My Quad tends to either roll to the left or pitch to the rear while raising the throttle alone. I'm flying it in stabilize mode and am continuously required to adjust the pitch and roll stick for a take off. I've read about the probable cause in the forums and solutions posted but without much improvement in my case.
Once in flight, it tries to drift and doesn't stay in one position as well.
I've checked the motor rotation with CLI -> test -> motors and they are proper. I'm using 10x4.7 APF SF props with Turnigy 3525 850KV motors in X config with APM 2.6 [firmware 3.1.5] and External GPS+Compass.
I'm getting a 3d GPS lock along with gpshdop < 2 and satcount 9+ at the time of take off. The compass orientation is proper too. Checked with the phone compass, both match.
Here's the gyro calibration values for my quad:
G_off: 0.01, -0.01, -0.01
A_off: -0.01, 0.03, 0.50
A_scale: 1.01, 1.00, 0.98
During Hand test, I can feel the quad resisting my movements and trying to stabilize itself.
Here are the Roll, Pitch and Yaw values when the quad is disarmed and lying flat on a level surface. The snap was taken indoors, so no GPS lock.

Are these defaults normal?
Also, I've read that the pwm outputs from the APM to the motors should be nearly the same. In my case, when disarmed the ch1out, ch2out, ch3out and, ch4out is set at 1007.

Once armed and as I raise the throttle a little bit, the ch1out, ch2out, ch3out and, ch4out values are as shown:

Can anyone suggest something to highlight what might be wrong?
