Default Hovering the AXE

Ok guys I have been getting very comfortable with the controls of the AXE. Now what I have been attemping to do is a simple hover. When I input collective stick I would like the AXE to just rise nice and verticle. But everytime it gets "light on the training gear" it wants to drift to the upper left. (If it were in a square box it would go to the upper left corner). I am standing with the heli in front of me with the boom tail rotor facing me and the nose pointed straight ahead.

So I have to input some cyclic (down and to the right) to try and get it to stablize. It is working ok but it seems like I am always fighting it. Is this normal? If not how to correct? I have played with the trim tabs a little but doesn't seem to help.
I need to mess with the 3 adjustments also on the PC board.

Just looking for some input to see if this is normal or am I doing something wrong.

Thanks
