OK. As of right now that one hits about 997. I'll adjust it tomorrow. Got to get some sleep for work tomorrow. I hope I can get this thing working before Thursday. I get a 4 day weekend this week!

Ok. I got the motors working by adjusting the throttle in the Rx tab. However, when I arm the quad, the motors spin up. I have the slider checked to not spin the motors when armed. Although when I think about it, that could be a safety thing visually telling me to disarm the quad.
I now need to figure out the PID thing. I have printed the pdf you posted Tony and will study it while trying to figure out if anything needs to be adjusted.
And, thanks greatly to all who have contributed information on helping me get this thing set back up.

Ok. I will check it.

Turning off air mode did the trick. I took it out and hovered it and tried out the modes. Angle does ok as does acro. But horizon is uber sensitive. Acro is pretty sensitive too. Is the sensitivity adjusted by PID?

OK. So PID settings won't affect the sensitivity of the sticks?

I want to take a vacation soon. I might just come up there and buy you a 6-pack.

Tony, you didn't know??? If you purchase 6 beers, you get a free steak. Or taco bell.

I've been told that it's better if you cook it yourself... LMAO

So if I understand this right, I need to adjust the expo in my Tx?

Does everything look OK here? If you can please explain the angle/horizon section.

So. I went into betaflight and changed the RCRates on roll and pitch to a lower value. From 2.55 to 1.3. This made the quad much easier to fly.
I'm enjoying tinkering with the settings like this as it is helping me to learn this stuff.

Angle & Horizon
Angle is a self stabilizing mode that will only allow you to pitch the quad to a maximum pitch that you set in betaflight. This is the most beginner friendly mode since it will not let you go inverted. So you can't do any loops or rolls in this mode. And when you let go of the stick, it will always self level.
Horizon is a lot like angle in that it will self level when you release the sticks, but after a certain stick deflection, it will allow you to do loops and rolls. However, you must do a complete 360. If you try to stop to look straight down for example, the FC will take over and self level the quad.
Rate is no Accelerometer. It will not self level, you can stop it in any orientation in space and is what everyone should be flying in!!! Yes, I'm included in that statement lol.
And yea, those settings look okay, but only you know how it flies. PID is a per model setting. Baseline can get you close, but tweaking it will always make it better. Okay, maybe not always lol.
And you said Horizon was hard to fly, I will bet that is because you were hitting the point where it went from angle to rate so you could flip, then you let off and it goes back into angle. It's a good mode, but try only flying in rate.

When I initially tried to fly it yesterday with the first settings, the quad tried to move as if I were giving it full stick travel when I was only maybe going 25%. I learned to adjust expo so it won't do that. If things go as planned, I will be attempting my first REAL FPV training. I know I'm gonna crash the crap out of it but it will be fun!

Back on topic with this thread but here are a couple photos of thermal images.
