Is your tri balanced?
You need to balance it so that CG is at the center of frame. Try applying some trims
Also try applying some dual rates and expos. they will make controlling smooth.

From video I can see that your motors don't start simultaneously. I guess you need to calibrate your ESCs first. Follows all the instructions here http://www.kkmulticopter.kr/index.html?modea=manual

Do you have any experience of flying heli or plane? if not then try to get in touch with some who could be able to fly it for you.

Hey karan bro if this is your final setup you have to work a lot on your frame. It requires extreme accuracy. Even 1mm of offset can make huge difference. You have to correct things one by one. If you have 1% doubt, don't leave it. Later it will multiply. I am working on my quad from last 5 months. It took this much of time to understand what exactly this thing lol. They are like small kid. They will wait for your mistake and then bang. We have an interview with channel narmada but had to postpone it 1-2 times. I flew it 50-70 times in my house. Took videos of them and corrected things.
Please also calibrate esc individually. They don't start all together.

karan C.G. plays role but if there is small error you can correct it using trim but yours seems way out of trim. You can put long tail boom, i saw on rcg. You can maintain cg by battery placement.

yup bro and i would like to clear few thing that was also confusing me.
1. Reversing gyro won't change stick direction. For example if your board arms by lower right side then after reversing gyro it will be same as before after yaw gyro reverse.
2. Gyro pots and gyro compensate reverse are two different things.
If your tx, setup, hardware everything is perfect then you have to check gyro compensation.

hey folks...
i made new super rigid frame...
center of gravity balanced... lies exactly below intersection of lines passing through roll & pitch gyro on kk board.

but still motors still dont co-operate...

i guess problem is with battery, after certain throttle one moter (tail) goes very slow, or stops.

i m using turnigy 2200mah 25C 3s batry (35c burst). n 1100kv motors n 18amps esc...

is it really this battry??  Head Scratching shuould i go for more mah/discharge batry??
pl suggest me some solution...  Help Me

Battery seems OK unless go for full throttle.
Make sure your ESCs are calibrated. Try to calibrate each ESC separately and then connect it to the board.
Also make sure non of your gyro is zero or full before powering the board.

Have you checked each motor individually without connecting it to board?

I think you need to [according to priority] (i) calibrate the ESCs (ii) balance the props and (iii) build the perfect frame.

i mean kk board cant balance the frame???

Of course, the kk board IS meant to do that, but only to some extent.

Karan bro is your ESC programable? Change battery mode from lipo to ni-mh. One of the necessary thing for any multirotor.

That's great mate. Nice to hear from you. I wonder that it was nothing but motor!
Second and hard part starts now, to learn flying multis. It was tough for me but i have so many videos to share. I am really impressed with these machines. I have rebuilt my 1st one and going build 2nd soon. Wish to fly together someday, somewhere.

Congrats for your flight!

Gyro gains seem high. That is why tricopter is oscillating.
Lower the gyro gains till oscillations stop.

Awesome mate, really wonderful. It seems really unstable but you handled it very well. You are really lucky that you have common plot near your house.
