It has taken to the skies

After painstakingly tuning P, I and D parameters in Mission Planner, it can now fly. This is a configuration part that I wasn't aware of until a few days ago, when I didn't understand why it was way too wobbly and always crashed. The reason was that my PID parameters was offside given the model, motor and propeller size I have. After some tuning using this guide, I was able to get it stable. There is still far to go when it comes to more autonomous flight but.. it flies!
