Is there a video explaining how the flight mechanics work with no rudders ect? Are each rotor variable pitch or somthing so when you back one way the other side slows up ect?

Each motor has its own ESC (electronic speed control) ~so each motor operates independently from the others. Two motors spin clockwise and the other two, counterclockwise (on the diagonals).

when it goes forward the rear props command,when it goes right the 2 left props command,ect

High School Physics. Made simpler with a very fast computer.

Edit: Well, what used to be considered High School Physics. High School Physics is considerably more advanced now what with string theory and quantum whatzits, etc.
 
And if it rotates right? Just curious how simple you think it really is.
post #3 explains how rotation takes place,which is the basis for opposing rotational blades.
seeing the wind turbulence from the props would make it easy to grasp

Throw more power at the 2 props on a certain side and that side is going to lift up, tilting the craft, so it propelled to the opposite side. Give all props more power - it flies up. Give all props less power - it flies down. Give CW props more power than CCW props and yhe crawd will rotate CCW. Give the CCW more power and it will rotate CW. The theory is really simple. What makes it complicated is a complex and fast feedback required to balance it all.
