Default RE: Heli-Max AXE going left in hover

When I first got into helis with my Piccolo TRD was the most annoying thing until I learned a neat little trick to counter it. I adjusted the skids on the right side (tail facing you) of the heli so that they were about 1/4" shorter than the ones on the left by cutting the mounts.

Now Im pretty sure you don't want to go cutting up your airframe so heres an alternative: Cut a few strips of foam tape and stick it to the bottom of the skid to make the heli lean right when at rest. Otherwise learn to counter it manually with some rudder input just before take-off.
