Does anybody have this problem when creating a helicopter?

Okay, I’m unsure what this is exactly, I’ve been working on a helicopter endlessly, something that usually only takes a couple weeks, not a month or more unless it’s really detailed.

I don’t technically like using the heli rotors in the game since they aren’t realistic enough so I build my own rotors (heli rotor tail or not). I’m stuck on this problem when I use wings and wing physics and use them as helicopter blades since fuselage parts are too heavy and shake a ton.

Whenever I fly, the blades tilt and after at least 2 to 3 seconds, the helicopter starts turning on its own to the left or sometimes the right uncontrollably.

I’ve been at this one problem for over a month now, this started happening probably a few years back give or take. I still can’t figure the uncontrollable turning to the left once I’m in the air.

Why do I want wing physics on? Well I can stay at a certain altitude and fly faster without having to make constant changes.

I looked at other helicopter builds like what I was doing but saw nothing wrong, I’ve tried everything I could possibly think of, so I decided to look at an old helicopter build I had posted that had wing physics on and flew nicely. I fly it, and I was astounded that the helicopter still was turning to the left uncontrollably. I’m wondering if this is some sort of update to the physics of the game and what not.

If anyone knows what this is, please help me and save what little sanity i have left. If you want me to tag you the aircraft I will gladly do so, the more help the better.

    @IamSage it’s a UH-60 Blackhawk, four bladed, i’m using a vtol engine, i put four vtol nozzles on the tips of the blades, my main rotor and tail rotor are custom made, if you want to take a look at it I can tag you.
