what is your RC helicopter experiance?

Ok, I can definaitly correct it, it needs about 4/5ths of the trim on the tail.
Once I get above the ground a few feet and hover should it stop drifting to the left? Because it needs full right trim for the "ailerons" when I'm only a few inches above the ground.

That is way too much trim IMHO. You will need to move your tail servo, rather than over-trimming it.
 
Did you carefully check your CCPM setup, including levelling the swash? I have about 10% of trim on my aileron – my BR lifts straight up with just a fraction of right stick, but once it is airborne at about eye level it sits level without hardly any input. A good setup will do this for you. Spend time on setting it up right and the BR will be a piece of cake to hover.

All the info to do the above is well presented at MyCoolHeli.

I've flown planes for years and i have a ton of simulator experience with heli's but i have only ever flown fixed pitch (until a few days ago). I'm not super confident, but i have the basics.

OK, that's what i thought. i guess its back to the table for some more tuning, it works out well though, it hasn't stopped raining in weeks!
