Default GPro 1.2 tail fighting me...

Hello my fellow rotorheads!
I have a GPro 1.2 installed on a Blade 300X. Everything is set up properly and she hovers well, except the tail is fighting me. Counter clockwise rotation is fine. Clockwise rotation though is met with the tail heading back to where it came from.
I would expect the same reaction to both left and right inputs, but it only happens in one diection. I have to overcompensate and let it settle back a little less than it started with. But turn the other way and it turns no problem.
Mechanically she is set up properly, as far as I can tell.
Googled this, but only found one video where someone complained of similar issue and just changed it out for a BeastX (That's what I put on my 500L). Only other thing is the complaints about tail wag, which this does not.
Thoughts???
Thanks!
Gary

When you setup the neutral position for the tail, how did you go about doing it?

I set up the tail per the Jeff Fassbinder video...
Align GPro Binding and Setup by Jeff Fassbinder (56 min 33 sec)
(at minute 43).

90 degree on the servo and end points set not to bind. Rudder Endpoint Settings in the GPro software.

I'm sure I'm missing something???

Ya, that's what I thought. Believe or not, this is not the way you want to do it. You actually want the neutral position to be setup that when you are in rate mode and in a hover the tail does not drift. Once you do this, you will see much better results when you switch back to heading hold mode. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect but the closer you get it the better. Here's a picture of where mine ended up being.

Give that a shot and then let me know if that helped.
