now that was exceedingly helppful kind sir. i couldn't find any image video or owners manual referance as to what i should be aligening the plate to. or exactly what it was the plastic look was supposed to aligen. its surprisingly vauge on those things considering how important it is.
It's vague because there really isn't anything to align or "calibrate" in the head. It's kindof deceptive because the "calibration" tool is really nothing more than a temporary brace you stick in there to protect the tiny links from bending while you press the swash back together. The swash is designed to separate in a crash to protect the servos from damage & should be checked after every crash. (even a slight bit of separation will throw off your trim). You really don't even need the tool if you're very carefull about much pressure you apply.

The only adjustment you have is the servo pushrods. Those should only need to be adjusted if you have to use more than just a few "beeps" of trim to get it to hover. If your heli wants to keep going to the left & you have the trim all the way to the right, try lengthening the left rod.
If nothing seems to work, maybe check with your LHS. Even tho you didn't buy from them, They will probably help u get it sorted out. GL,
