Default wobble

I have an align 600n pro and when i lift off it wobbles around(foward, backward, left, right). When i changed the hover throttle to being higher and decreaseing the pitch slightly it completely disappered. Is the problem as simple as this (low rotor speed) or is it someting more serous (damaged head, bent shaft). Any help appreciated

sounds like it's just low rotor head speed. you also get better tail authority at higher head speeds.

It sounds like you a harmonic enduced wobble. Changing the rotor head speed and/or the
engine rpm will and did correct the problem. Remember this area when you are flying in
case it comes back. That way you know what to do. Normally this will happen again while
transitioning through those rpm combinations again.
