It's physics. To tighten itself it would have to have a design with a centre of gravity that would tighten it.
Think of a ship in the water. It requires a buoyancy to bring it upright so weight at the bottom and flotation at the top. Keeps the wet side down.
The Mavic has zero inherent or built in stability and relies totally on the rotors keeping it upright when starting upright.
If you had a fixed pitch helicopter and stopped the bladed and the aircraft rolled which it would for the same reasons, starting the blades would not bring it upright.
I welcome comments to my theory....
