Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Hi Guys, I am new here but have been reading everything I could for the last few days. I am and RC plane pilot for almost 30 years and have always wanted to try my hand at helicopters. I have been playing with the G2 sim for awhile and I bought my BCP last Friday. Just call me crash. This is harder than I expected. I have replaced the skids and the rotors already. I have a question. I have already made the modifications for the sticking rotors and found that the washers were reversed. I also found that the washers were completely missing on one side. Not nice. The question I have is that when I get ready to lift off the BCP starts to skid to the left so I have to apply right thrust to straighten it out. It this to be expected or do I need to trim something up. What should I expect from a correctly trimmed BCP? How much control should I be expected to apply to get the BCP to hover? Any help would be appreaciated.
