RE: the blade 400 is sooo responsive.
You could move the links closer to the servo and that will reduce the throw too. If you reduce the servo travel you need to move all three servos the same amount or your swashplate won't be level at top and bottom stick. It won't mess the pitch up, it might lower it a bit. You could also reduce the swashmix for aileron and elevator and increase the pitch mix if it is lowered too much.
