I never got a straight answer on this, need some help on stabilizers

So, I’ve asked about this before but no one gave me a straight answer.

Does anyone know why when I attach vtol nozzles to wings, attach the wings to a block of fuselage and attach that fuselage to a free spinning rotator, my helicopter always wants to either fly to the right or to the left?

Here’s the weird thing, it works for one of my helicopters but doesn’t work for another upcoming one, what am I doing wrong?

If you want to dive deeper into this situation, look at my MH-16 Cold front to try and figure it out because I don’t have the slightest clue.

    @Airheaddivision btw to remove the main rotor from the fuselage jest disconnect the engine from the part

    Ah, I’m not quite sure how to fix that. I also have trouble with that. Something to do with the rotation of the rotors and not enough airspeed to make the vertical stabilizer effective lets it turn/drift until corrected. Sorry.

    @WisconsinStatePolice I would say it yaws without me actually yawning the tail itself.

    Do you mean it yaws, rolls, or its ground track is different from its heading?
