Being such a experienced pilot mr fish you should know drifitng is unavoidable in normal heli setups, heli will always experience some drift oposit the direction the tail goes. Complete stable in the dime hower wil demand some input from pilot, even under calm conditions as any helis is negative stabile. Mad taffy: it sounds like you havnt yet gotten out of those vindy ground conditions, at ground zero a stable hower is near impossible due to the turbulent wind blowing back up from the ground, specially if you are inside in a small room, once you get 1-2 meters in the air things will smooth out. Dont listen to Fishy here, I have plenty stable howers with my Aerohawk but you wont experience them for a loong time yet, important though in the start is to tighten up your blades good, you will be knocking about and crashing so much that trying to make blades balance and track perfectly is just wasted,, so tighten em up good to awoid wobbles.
