The swash plate can get whacked out of location or adjustment fairly easy.  It is also just as easy to realign it as well .  Once you know what you are looking for, it is super easy to adjust again.</p>

the swash plate does not look level how would I adjust it? Do I need to adjust the linkeges as well. I tried adjusting the trim settings and It doesn't seem to be making that much diff.

move your controls to see which one does which function. If you screw it in, it will go forward, screw out, backwards. Same concept for roll.

Thanks the Swash plate still does not look level(this is when it is powered down) but I flew inside and it was easier to control. I am glad I did not buy a FP or CP Heli. this one will keep my occupied for a while. I did read that if you adjust or screw in that can give you move forward flight?

I don't worry about the swash plate being lvl on these micro's. They are set pretty close and just adjust as needed. It is also using a two prong swash plate compared to the three pronged swash plate on CP heli's.

this MCX is a lot of fun as I get better with this would it be a wise choice to skip a FP and go to CP like the Blade SR? (with training kit of course.)  will be awhile before I move up though.

Are you using a sim? Either way, the flight characteristics are the same unless you get something like a MSR. So unless your next purchase is a ultra micro, get something like the SR and press on.

no clue if this applies to that heli, but I know the swash plate can come apart on my CX3, if it does, it gets all over the place and control is wishy washy. check that I guess....
