Helicopter spins (yaw) when trying to take off

Hello all!

I have been slowly making progress on getting my 800 traditional heli to fly. It has a pixhawk2.1. I’ve gone over a lot of the set up with Chris Olsen a month or two ago in a separate post.

I have recently tried to get the heli in a low altitude hover for tuning purposes. I had it set to stabilize mode. Once I have spooled, I increase collective slowly. When I am nearly leaving the ground the heli wants to rotate (yaw). See this video.

I am being quite cautious. Is this something that should happen with the autopilot? (I would think not!) Is it a poorly calibrated compass? Or is there some parameter I should be adjusting?

Thank you,
Mike
