you can try and trim the g-2 heli out just like you would the real one,did you calibrate the heli also,look over the directions.

Try and give just enough throttle to get it light on the skids then try giving a few clicks of right aileron trim. Set it down and get it light again. If it still moves, give some more trim. As mentioned above. Fly it like you would the real thing.
Also, it you have the Jetranger (might be in an add-on pack) try that one. Seems to fly the easiest of all. Hope this helps

I never really had to adjust the trim. Go to the virtual instructor and he will show you the correct way to hover. Its not easy at first, but you'll get the hang of it Thats why a sim is great to learn on.

I agree with DustOff ... my trims are always set to center for G2.
It is very natural for a heli to 'drift' to the right, even with full scale helis this is the case. It is all because of a side effect of the rotor torque.
Handyman, go look at the virtual instructor ... when you take of you always give a little right aileron and a bit of forward elevator.
