Default 120 SR swash plate adjustment

I can't tell if need to adjust my swash plate on my 120 SR..... it has a slight lean to the right whenin a hover looking at it from the back..... I think all of them do that....... I think there is no other way to adjust..... I know the MSR comes with an adjustment tool but the 120 does not.
any sugg?

Mine does the same thing. Probably just the way they are.

Okay ... how do you like the MCPX......... I was told to get that before I got the 120 SR he said it was easier to fly but that was coming from a guy who has a Trex 600 E and can flat out fly that thing.........I hadan 120 SRand sold it but kept a batt and controller so I bought another BNF.

It is caused by tail rotor drift and is an inherent part of helicopter flight.

Well so I can live with the lean. But in trying on my own to adjust I changed the distance on the swash plate links and now it will not hover unless you have almost constant stick input mostly it wants to drift right.....I have pulled them off and put back to the 37mm stock settings but still wants to drift right in a hover. I have tried trimming out. My swash plate maybe damaged as it looks like from pulling off the links so much in an attempt to adjust I bentthe parrt that attaches to the link.... so maybe I go to the LHS and get a new Swash plate.???
