Default Draganfly keeps turning after crash

Guys, wonder if any other draganflyer faces this problem ?

Hovering at abt 1 meter, the keeps turning right. Had already adjusted the yaw trin to 75% left. If I adjust a bit more then, the heli will turn left instead.

Constant, adjustment during flight is needed. Is this normal ?

Is the front blade causing this problems, coz I read that the other 3 blades are for lift ?

It sounds like one or more of your rotors may be slightly damaged.

All four rotors are for lift. The Draganflyer moves by adjusting power to the four rotors (watch the video that came with it.

If your crash slightly damaged a rotor, or tilted a motor mount out of level, that will cause you to yaw depending on how much power is going to that rotor, or the other rotors at a given time (every time you move the controls, or the gyros sense movement, the power distribution changes - this means it changes many times a second.)

Check to make sure all the rotors and motor mounts are level. To a certain extent though, as blades wear and become less perfect in their shape, this is normal. Flying on a fresh set of rotors, while not an inexpensive thing to do all the time, is definitely easier.

I think you need to be a bit more specific as to which Dragon fly you have. There are a few the one with 4 separate rotores and then theres the micro FP heli from GWS. I cannot offer help on the 4 rotor type but I can on the GWS verson. THanks

joeb102072, He already referred to a 'front' rotor and 'other 3' rotors so that pretty much rules out the 'regular' type
