Default CX2 - Something wrong here... tips left

Hmmm... just got doen replacing the flybar and the lower head/shaft (?) with the blue aluminum... now, when I try to fly, she immediately starts to skitter left and tips over?? I will include some photos... can ya'll see anything wrong? I have been trying to adjust via trims and can't keep it from leaning/tipping left during takeoff... never did that before? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. I even tried to set all the trims to the right and she still tipped left. Also, I notice when I use the toggle on the right side of the remote... and push it left... the blades hardly change. Please also note in the photos... the bottom of the shaft... is it supposed to be tilted forward or should it be sitting evenly? Mine is tilted forward, can't recall if it was like that before or not?

Thanks folks... am still such a rookie... but used to hover nicely... now can't seem to take off due to the skittering left across the floor then tipping onto left side completely. Any help appreciated.

The swashplate should be as level as possible (both left/right and front/back). Get that straightened out by adjusting the swashplate linkages, testing as you adjust.

+1 this can also be accomplished by raising the whole lower head up about 1 MM. You can shorten the linkages or raise the whole head a little. Let us know how you make out.

Will give the raisng of the head a shot as that's the part I replaced (the lower head)... reckon I went too far down on it. You think that would cause the veering left issue?

Thanks again! Will keep you posted.

Glad to help. I've been doing a lot of asking for help lately, so it's nice to be able to give a little back.
