    sorry its been so long since ive responded, ive flown your condor around a bit and i think I found your problem.
    because your condor is basicaly four engines on a block the power that is given overrules your yaw pitch ect..
    thus i have found a sort of "sweetspot". if you try taking off with as little power you get a slight bit more control, so by using more sensitive controls (like constantly micro managing the yaw and roll) i can keep the center of mass in check, but heres where YOU come in- the all-in-all design is great but your CoM, CoS and CoL are a little bit off, witch is probably why it doesnt want to stay center.
    anyways so sorry for the wait im pretty busy and just out of the corner of my eye I spotted your response,
    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    @LIQUIDconsumer currently pitch and rolling at high speeds is incredibly unstable I've tried to remedy by adding weighted plates to the bottom, and streamlining the fins though that hasn't helped much. There are also rare instances of the gyro controlls inverting for no apparent reason.
