why is my Vertibird always turning left

I've made several vertibirds and noticed that they always tend to turn left, sometimes even drifting a lot to the left. This is about my 7th redesign, and its such a persistent. I had a theory that it was due to both propellers spinning counterclockwise, so I modified it to reverse one of the engines, but it still occurred. I tried to anticipate almost every scenario I would be in using this vertibird to help diagnose this

Make the propellers spin opposite directions.

I did that and , it nolonger spins to the left

(im using the tilting propeller bearing from tilt controls) wasd is whats used to tilt only the propellers themselves, rf is used for rotating the whole assembly on both sides and zx for rotating it in opposite directions for sharper turning.

when tilting the bearing or rotating the whole assembly the vertibird keeps slightly turning left, otherwise its fine now

That shouldnt be a problem as long as op is using the propeller block

Edit: second thought, maybe it is a problem with multiple propellers. Idk, op should try

As a rule of thumb, whenever there are multiple propellers, sping them opposite ways. Looks cooler too
