Its normal for it to slide to the left, yes you give it some right stick to compensate, the reason its crazy and difficult to control is because your new at it, keep practicing, you'll get it.
Having full right trim and still sliding left, on the other hand, isn't normal. Which is why i suggested making sure the swash plate is flat.
But yeah, practicing and flying will teach your brain and hands to anticipate what your heli will do, and taking off while correcting for all its movements will become normal.
