My heli's right-handed!

:dontknow So, on my 1st flight Thanksgiving Day & every flight since then, my 800 decided that it wants to tilt to the right during spool-up. It tilts enough that I have to give it left aileron. Thursday & yesterday I held a little left until it actually lifted off & the tilt went away. Today the tilt didn't go away. I had to hold left cyclic. I didn't even try to set a trim but if I had, it probably would have been about 10 clicks on the DX-8! WTF? What now? I haven't crashed or even bumped/rubbed anything. I haven't changed any parts. Everything is still exactly the same. Nothing is out of place or worn or bent, etc. I have only changed 2 settings. I reduced Governor Gain in the CastleLink menus from the default "15" to "10" per the advice of a CC Tech. I flew it several times after making that change. That was a good change. The power-spikes went away, the tail no longer twitches randomly & the motor and batteries are cooler. I also changed the head-speed again. That hasn't made a difference & I didn't expect it to. Any suggestions as to what's responsible for my heli's new bad habit? I'd love to hear them. I dred doing the whole FBL setup again & I don't see how that could fix this problem anyways.
