I'm not anywhere near you, but from experience, a drone that just flips over every time you try to take off usually has one or more motors hooked up wrong, or has the wrong prop on the motor.

There are three wires going from each controller to each motor. Reversing any two wires will cause the motor to turn in the wrong direction. Double check and make sure your motors are turning the way they need to. You should have a diagram showing how your drone's motors need to turn. Take the props off and watch the motors as you give them throttle. If a motor is turning the wrong way, then just switch any two wires from the controller. (There is no polarity to worry about).

Also, you will have left hand and right hand props. Make sure you don't have a left hand prop where a right hand prop should be or vice versa.

Here is my drone with one motor hooked up wrong: (18 second video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7b6FgANr0g

If yours is doing this, then check the motors and props :)
