Hey guys,
I have recently bought an Eachine x220 drone and after many many issues I have come across one last (I hope) major problem.
When I arm the drone and bring it to a hover, the balance goes way off and flips like crazy, and the failsafe makes it fall to the ground. I will attach a video of the problem through Google Drive. I have calibrated the accelerometer thru Cleanflight (Because this board seems to only support cleanflight). I honestly have no idea what is going on.
Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

HOW TO FIX
Hopefully this will save you guys some frustration
Possible fixes to this issue:
1. Check motor spin direction
2. Calibrate accelerometer
3. Check propeller installation (correct propeller with the right motor, correct nut on the motor, props tight on motor)
4. Remove custom motor maps
5. Check motor settings
How I fixed this problem:
The board had an arrow on it which was supposed to be facing forward but the board was mounted 90 degrees to the left. To fix the yaw offset, set it to the opposite of where your board is facing, for example the board’s arrow is 180 degrees rotated from the front of the drone, type in -180 in the yaw offset
