hello, darshan and Swapnil!
thanks for the input, I re-calibrated the ESC's, now they start together and very well.
It was difficult to control it in the starting, but got a hang of it, doing low flying only, very close just to get a hang of controller.

I have some doubts
1. My controller is FlySky FS-T6 2.4ghz 6CH, using in mode 2, left is thrust/yaw, right is roll/pitch.
    When I roll to left or pitch down...it continues to stay that what until I counter it.
    Is there is anything like, when I roll left, it should roll to left, den when I leave button, it should stable and not continuously head left.

2. My battery is 1500mah 3 cell 11.1v - http://www.quadkopters.com/product/battery-and-accessories/qk-1500mah-11-1v-3570c-lipo/
  is it possible to go for

or

You are flying in ACRO mode. If you switch to self stabilized mode you'll get what you want. For miniquad it is recommended not use a battery of capacity more than 2200mAh because the increase in the flight time would be quite insignificant. As you increase the capacity of the battery the weight also increases!

Angad, it would be great to see pictures and videos of your quad in flight!

There will be drifting. No quad is stable like a rock,not even a quad with GPS
If you fly in manual mode, you will have to counter it continuously.
If you fly in acro mode, you might get over responses and you might no be able to control it
If you fly in stabilised/attitude mode, it will stay stable as you want it to be
P.S: Where is the video? {:)}

I think you need to correct the PID as the quad is a bit wobbly
Don't fly with a broken propeller. A propeller is a very important part and the quad can go out of control and anything can happen.
Do not fly indoors... you might tear your chair see cover or damage something

Just picked this from somewhere. Hope this helps
First make sure everything is calibrated properly (esc's, accelerometer, gyro, radio, etc).
Tune your P (Proportional) values up untill it starts to oscillate (overcompensate), then back off progressively to where oscillations stop.
If it "drifts" or takes time to stabilize, turn up your I (integral) values untill it stabilizes quickly enough for you.
Then turn up your D (Derivative) values untill it feels snappy enough for you.

And why do the props not fit properly?
The pitch of the prop is same, just the length is different.
It should fit

hey darshan,
Did some tuning, and it flies beautifully, yes went out and took my first flight.. will post video link!! i just love it.
about the props 6030, they are big for this quad, the ends will touch my esc's wires.

After seeing the landing I don't want to ask you how the prop broke
Buy a lot of props cause 250 quad props break more often as they are fast and strike the ground hard sometimes
I myself have broken around 10 props...
Very nice flight  {:)}
