Default RE: eagle 50 helicopter

New to helis and got an Eagle 50 for Christmas. Just got around to it and having trouble before getting off the ground. Not sure if I have defective part or incorrect adjustment or ??? but:

As I increase throttle / collective to near liftoff then add a bit more throttle / collective the two halves of the swash plate pull apart. Then the upper half slides up and the rotor goes into full down pitch.

I don't see a way to adjust the links anywhere near enough to compensate. Do I have a faulty swashplate or maybe something wasn't assembled / adjusted properly at the factory?

Would it be possible the discs on the servos were installed "a tooth off" or similar?

TIA
