Might be which way the tail rotor pushes, a solution would be handy

    I fixed it for you, (it was definitely the angled rotor)

    Even thought you said about the weight imbalance, I disagree that it is the source of the problem. Infact, I think it has something to do with the physics of the helicopter blades. I encountered the same issue with my attack helicopter except that it was exaggerated due to the slim fuselage which was supposed to allow better roll control and make the helicopter a smaller sillouette. Sadly I have not found any solution to this problem other than real life examples that have two props, with that being said there's hardly anything to do but to get gud when it comes to flying.
    A helicopter is a miracle if it flies.
