So are you wondering what would happen if you took off a Trex 500 Pro with the GT5 while still in a menu, say, the pitch menu? Would make for a fun flight, the heli would drift widly all over the place requiring constant correction to keep in the air and land safely.
Of course this is just theoretical, I'm not stupid enough to do it twice on the same pack

Someone had to try it, right?

Now it makes me think ,the heli was consistently drifting hard to the left and to the back. Does this mean my swash is not level? My CoG is correct and the swash sure looked level to me (eyeball + horns 90 and rods the same length)

I have same flying experience, my first flight with CGY750 in TDR (swash correctly set and i was not in any menu ...) plus as bonus - reversed tail
