Default Heli wants to face the wind??

mbbaj2001- gyros don't torque

In the old days we accepted that the helo would drift to point into the wind, with heading hold gyros the drift is minimized but it will still slowly drift, by slowly I mean 10° in a minute, most helo flyers won't even notice the drift but it's still there. Your regular piezo gyro is working how it was designed and my recommendation is to learn using it and move up to a better( more expensive) gyro later in the game.
