Default Swash plate causing vibration on cx2

ever since i added the motor heat sink on my blade cx2 all it wants to do is vibrate. it is extremely uncontrolable and can not be trimmed. the swash plate is uneven and i dont know how to make is straight. could it have something to do with the servos? any ideas? thanks.

I cant see how adding the heat sinks would mess with the servos. Dit you get the moters
meshed with the gears good. You should be able to run a strip of computer paper through
the moter and drive gear to set the gear mesh.
Did the swash come apart ? To level the swash you hace to turn the linkage on the high
or low side to even it out.

Ok Krusader.

Let's see if I will can help you.
I had same problem with my CX when added a heat sinker. I notice 02 problems:
1) upper blades out of tracking
2) landing skids out of alignment - dont touch the ground at same time

to solve...

1) put your heli on a flat surface, running motor slowly and see at level ground if the upper blades are on tracking
02 tips images...no good 01 tip image...all rigth
If no good: adjust the linkage between the stabilizer flybar and the upper rotor blade. See the manual and check again.

2) Adjust the position of skids; they should be touch the ground at same time

good luck
