That's normal.

Helis always need 6-8 degrees of right rudder to hold a stationary hover, to correct the torque of the main blades.

So, to turn left, anything less than that will do. To turn right, you need more than that.

It looks odd, but you'll get used to it. Just make sure everything is square from the servo horn to the linkage to the intermediate linkage (if there is one) to the bell crank at the back, and that the mechanism is silky smooth and does not bind at either end, and it should all be fine. Also, get someone to check it over before you fly, to check the servo is going the right way and the gyro is sensing in the right direction etc.

What heli and gyro?

My heli is a raptor 30. It has a csm gyro in it at the moment hut I have got a futaba gy401 to go on it when my new transmitter turns up
