Quad how to trim a V959

I recently got a V959 quad. When I fly it, I have to push the guidance stick to the right to get it to hover in place. In other words, when I power up to flight speed with my hand off of the guidance stick the quad lurches forward and to the left.
How do I trim the copter to get it centered?

Have you tried trimming it with the transmitter?
If that does not work, recenter the trims and initialise it with spacers under the legs, I used a CD case.
In your case put it under the LF leg.
I have had several of these (V949 and V959) and found that to be the easiest method.
Are you sure it is a V959 not the upgraded V212?
I didn't think the V959 was still being sold.
Same probably applies but I have not tried it with the V212 as I don't have one.

That is easy, the trim buttons on your transmitter correlate to the direction of your sticks.
I will assume mode 2 here. (Throttle on the left stick)
The trim to the left of the right stick controls forward and back wards trim.
If it is drifting forwards, click it down a few times and try again until it is a bit more stable.
The trim below the right stick controls left and right trim.
If it is drifting left, click it right a few times and try again until it is a bit more stable.
You will get it close but it will still drift slightly, especially inside due to turbulence in a smaller space.
Is this your first quad?
If so it is one of the better ones to learn with.
At 100% it will handle some wind reasonably well outside.

Thanks. That makes perfect sense. I'll give it a try.
Quick (duh) questions: does this accelerate or decelerate the targeted propeller?
