My 3Dr hex-b is flying missions in Auto flight mode very well.
However in Stabilize mode, it always moves in the same direction... to the right when I'm standing behind the back side of APm2.5 board.
I need to move the TX aileron stick maybe 20 % to the left to compensate for the tendency.
The hex mass is balanced fairly well from left to right.
see attached scn prt for current PIDs.
Is this drifting to the right a PID tuning issue or is there something else I should investigate?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Only after lift-off or always in flight? We presume you have set the APM Level on a known level surface in the MP?
Raising your Rate_I a little will help with resisting CG misalignment or other external forces..
