So, damage to the front two legs of the drone. Instead of just replacing a part, I replaced both arms. Fired it up recalibrated the Compass and IMU to ensure best results. Went to lift off, it tips forward then shuts down the rotors stating and error. The correct rotors are in the correct location. I have double checked the work and cannot find an issue. Any ideas?

Are you sure the wires to your motors are both correct and that prop placement is on the correct motor?

One way you can check if the wires are switched is if the props are rotating in the right direction. They should rotate as shown:

So I pulled it apart again and instead of soldering the wires on one motor correctly it was not mirrored correctly.
I can't fly at my residence due to to close to airport but will be checking it here in an hour or so.
HUA moment. Mistakes are the best teacher...
Thanks for the assistance.
