The problem with game controllers is that they generally can't output minimum throttle and maximum yaw at the same time due to the circular aperture. I'm not sure this is Copter's fault, though the thresholds are fixed.

The software reading the controller and converting it into commands can calibrate or map differently to resolve this, though I don't know if any software supports that.
