Flying a TT Mini Titan, and I have quite a bit of left aileron added...the heli drifts to the right during hover. Now, the swash could be slightly off but just thought it was odd to be drifting the opposite direction since most helis drift left. (This is from behind the heli, tail in)
Any advice?

Hi,
Hover a bit higher(nose in wind) to avoid the ground effect (eye level).
This way you can check what the deflection really is.
If it's still there, reset your trimchanges and go over your mechanicall set-up and try to improve it.

My son-in-law had the same problem.
I started from scratch and reset all the connecting arms to factory specs.
Reset all travel adjustments to +/-100%.
Set throttle/collective stick to centre and levelled the swash using sub-trim, Ensuring there was 0 degrees pitch.
Some fiddling with the travel at the high end was required to ensure the swash stayed level.
Hope this helps.:thumbup:
