Make sure the arrow on your FC board is facing towards the front of the quad. If it is not, adjust the Yaw offset to the degrees it is turned (either +90° or -90°, 180° if turned opposite direction) in Betaflight or Cleanflight or on whatever configurator you use. And make sure your accelerometers are calibrated while quad is on a level surface.

Also and I know it is a basic thing but are your props on right?

Yes. That also makes a huge difference. But I'm guessing it may be because the FC was just flashed, the default turns the FC orientation to 0° yaw offset. If I'm not mistaken, on the wizard, the FC is mounted 90° CCW. The same thing happened to my son's quad when I updated his FC firmware. When trying to take off, props would spin in correct directions, but the when trying to lift with more throttle, it would spin out of control and flip.

Yeah. But of course check props first. I've made that mistake a couple of times, not paying attention and rushing to fly. HahaSounds like the perfect place to start then neo.

Yep I have too, sometimes it is a very simple fix. Sometimes it’s not. Just process of elimination. Dang I hate it when you just can’t get that fpv fix.
I’m out for some more packs in about 20 minutes. Come on charger.

I just checked my dump from my Eachine Wizard 220 quads, by default installation of the SPRACING F3 the yaw offset is +270 or -90, your choice. That is likely the issue.

Yes. I agree - either setting works. I've set the yaw offset on my son's Wizard to -90° and got his working properly again.
Yeh props are on correct way bud first thing i made sure of, ill try check the FC see what way the arrow is facing and go from there. Thanks wayno been a while but ur still here helping
I had to get someone to flash for me because my computer at home for some reason doesnt run betaflight, by sounds ofnit i may need him to change some settings, could i possibly rotate the FC until i find the right angle ?Sounds like the perfect place to start then neo.

Hmmm, you really need to have beta flight at home. But by what Randy and Neo are saying then sounds likely to fix issue. Rotate 90 try, then 270, try. Dang these things drive me nuts, always something. Keep us informed bro
Will do mate, my friend is using my vtx and receiver. Ill get it back this week and see what i can do, massive help wayno the FC is actually facing the wrong way so this could be the info ive been needing [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hopefully that is the issue mate, both Randy and Neo are great with techy stuff, Green, Virtue and Futura are all a massive help with this stuff. Me, I just fly then crash then come here for help.
Hi @Jammy1989, you definitely need to set the Yaw Degrees to -90 or +270 degrees, do NOT physically try to rotate the board, it is in the quad like that for a number of reasons and you really can't change that easily if at all. This is the section in the Configuration tab where you set Yaw to -90 OR +270 which are the same thing.

Yeah. You need Betaflight for not only the orientation but to calibrate your accelerometers too. I think mainly, the FC board was set that way in Wizards so the USB port is easily accessible on the right side. If the FC is oriented to the proper position (arrow to front) the USB port would be to the back, which makes it difficult to plug in for diagnostics.
