MightyGem:
The situation you have described MAY be too much left pedal, ie left pedal stuck too far forward, but you never know unless you do much more diagnosis than you have explained - or until you get to the bottom and apply power. So I am assuming you have a left pedal forward case.
Cross wind causes displacement of pedals in the hover & slow forward flight. Therefore, if you have a right crosswind, the nose will want to turn right unless you apply more left pedal (than a nil wind hover). Thus, in your situation of too much left pedal, a wind from the right would aid in you getting the aircraft skids straight.
I take my hat off to anyone who can think about all this in the air though. I am more likely to scream some sort of panic driven obscenity over the intercom, punch out a really cool & calm sounding mayday, and then try to react to the situation I see as I apply power at the bottom! Please let me never have to do one for real...
