Crashed my stinger (minor damage) and repaired it. When I do a loop it goes to the left. Can anyone tell me what to check ?

First thing to check is your fingers.
Make sure that you are not pushing the stick left while pulling it down. and make sure that you are not adding rudder while moving the pitch.
Have some one watch your fingers. I have seen many people do this subconsciously and swear they are not, but someone watching your fingers can see it. I have been flying RC for 35+ years and still do it sometimes. I know it is me but I can not always make my fingers stop doing it.
If that is not it the most likely culprit is the phasing of the swash.
Check to see if the flybar is aligned straight down the boom when the inner and out balls of the swash are exactly aligned.
There is an adjustment for this at the bottom of the head block.
Start with the phasing here, you may have to adjust it slightly so that the flybar is almost pointed toward the tip of the tail shaft. The ideal setting is in between these two points somewhere, and varies depending on your whole setup.
