Default Axe EZ, is it normal ?

Hello all,
just a fast question:
Is it normal that at the start of the flight the rudder subtrim is little to the left with bird steady and during the flight I've to adjust slowly until I have it almost to the right at the end of the flight to keep always the bird steady ?
It's not a great problem, but I would like to know if all the EZ's are behaving this way.....
Thanks a lot.

I think it's more that one motor is running in reverse and getting warmer causing it to slow down but either way it is normal.

My biggest issue seems to be the motors losing power or something. My first heli flew great for about 10-12 flights, then it just seemed to hover only about a foot off the ground. My brother-in-laws did that right out of the box, the LHS exchanged his and its been flying great so far. Probably about 8-10 flights so far. They also exchanged mine because the couldn't figure out the problem. My second heli has only been flown 4 times, resting motor and batteries before flying again. Fly's great for the first half of charge, then settles to about an inch or so above the ground for the remaining 4 minutes or so. I've never crashed the heli so I know its not from damage. We've just been having bad luck with these motors for some reason. I've tried my batteries in his heli, works great, so I know its not my batteries. I've read where some people have been flying their Axe EZ's for almost 3 months constantly and not having power issues. Could we have run into a bad batch of these heli's or is there some other problem. I recently bought an Axe CP and now I'm wondering if their motors will go out just as quick. I haven't tried flying it yet, but it is a future concern. Thanks for any info.
