Kylania's statement +

Are you referring to normal flight, or when trying to trim to hover? Hover hold engaged? systems warmed up? etc (post a track might be fastest resolution)

It sounds like you never trimmed her for level flight. If the mission starts on the ground, the helicopter is trimmed to stay still on the ground. In flight, this stick position is aft of "neutral" and pitches the helicopter back. To avoid this, simply trim the stick slightly forward (about 15%) as you take off. And in general, you should trim often in flight.

even if i have a little forward momentum, then trim and let go of the stick. it will start to stablize to a hover, then start slightly drifting backwards?

 

im going to try to re calibrate the stick.

Well, it's hard to say without seeing what you're seeing, but perhaps what you're describing is normal as the helicopter returns to the original point of hovery entry. If you engage auto-hover while still moving forward, naturally you'll pass somewhat beyond this point and the AP will then fly backward to return to it. To avoid this, you can simply hit the trim button again as you speed reaches about 0.

A very quick track file would be helpful - just put a helicopter on an empty map, in the air already flying, and demonstrate what's happening. Then select "Go Advanced" below the reply box, use the paperclip icon to find the TRK file and upload. Then we can see exactly what is happening. :)
