Help me defeat this drift that I cant seem to get rid of.

I have plenty of experience with helis all the way from Blade micro helis up to my Trex 550 and my Thunder Tiger Titan x50 so I have a pretty decent amount of knowledge by now but these Heli Max helis just wont cooperate. I have two of them and Axe 100SSL that I removed all of the lighting components from because they sucked and an MD 530 and they both have the same issue. They will take off and then start drifting left immediately. This is not the standard left drift all helis get on takeoff, it will drift the whole flight and I have to hold right aileron to get it to stay level. I can use trim to get rid of the drift but the trim only works for that flight. Once I remove the battery and connect a new one then the drift comes back and I have to trim it again. Other times it will drift left at low headspeed then start drifting right when I go to idle up. I have tried adjusting the servo linkages and it makes no difference. Both helis have had their boards replaced by Hobbico but they both still drift no matter what I do. I am using a DX7s with an Anylink but I have also bound to my Heli Max transmitter and the issue still occurs. I see a lot of people running into this issue but it seems as though nobody has been able to successfully resolve it. Any thoughts would be helpful

I have this problem too. Axe 100SSL with AnyLink on a DX8. I thought I must have damaged the accelerometer in a crash. Guess I was wrong. Must be a manufacturer defect. Had a similar issue with a Blade MCPX BL, sent the board to MegasMicro and they repaired it. I wonder if they can fix it?

I have given up on them. I will not touch another Helimax product. Good luck with it though. Hobbico has relatively good customer service so don't hesitate to call.
