Default Nano always tilts to the right

Hello!

Yesterday I bought the nano cpx to learn to fly CP helis, because my attempt with a trex 450 was unsuccessful.

From the first time I started trying to hover it I noticed that it would slightly tilt to the right, but I thought it was my fault. Now, after many flights I am able to hover it with no problem and at some time get to a state where it's solid stable for like 5 seconds (no input), but even during that state, the heli seems to be tilting to the right.

Now, I put on the other blades, because someone told me they might help, but I am currently chargin my batteries. So, what's the problem with my nano?

That's perfectly normal, there is no problem at all. They have to tilt slightly to the right to offset the side thrust from the tail rotor. If they didn't tilt they would get pushed sideways by the thrust from the tail. You might notice it more on some helis than others but all single rotor helis do it to some extent.

Whoever told you to change your blades... best ignore them in the future because they don't have a clue.

So I should get back to the original blades? Not the ones with the bullet thing?

Yes the bullet blades are the best if you are a beginner... and if the Nano is still to fast for you, try D/R 60 ( for all servos) and 30-40 EXPO . That will really slow the heli down ... gradually work you way up to 80-85 for better performance / behavior.

However, it hovers at a tilt - the right side of the heli (spinning blade "disk") is unlevel and dips down on the right (the left side is higher than the right). It still seems to hover fine without a lot of float or turning, but it isn't level when it hovers. It is pretty noticeable, with the right side dipping down about 3/4 of an inch lower than the left.

I haven't seen this before on my other helis. Any ideas?
Perfectly normal.

Translating tendency.

Helicopters in general tilt like that. Some IRL are manufactured with asymmetrical skids to compensate. Americans fly "left skid low", the rest of the world mostly the opposite because because American helis direction of rotation makes their "translating tendency" opposite the rest of the World's.
