Default I think some things wrong

Ok not sure what I did but when my corona is level on the ground and I give it forward cyclic the blades tilt forward and to the right when viewed from eye level and from the rear. I have to give full left cyclic to get the blades to only tilt forward. I went thought the manual and measured all of the shafts with calipers and it are all per the manual any one had this happen? how do I fix it?

Are you talking about the swashplate moving, or the blades themselves when the rotor is static?

From the rear, the swashplate should tilt in the same direction as the stick on the transmitter... If it doesn't, double check your Tx to be sure all mixing is off and the Rx to be sure the servos are plugged into the right spots.

That's pretty intresting.... Have you tried to fly it?

Did you check all the z-link positions to make sure everything is mixing correctly?

Good luck!

Don't worry, this is normal for the Corona. The first time I did a run up and tried tracking my blades I noticed this. It has something to do with the gyroscopic precession. When you lift off into a hover, the blades will tilt the way they're supposed to and the rotor head will respond correctly. If you look at a picture of any heli that's hovering, you'll see that for a stable hover, there is always a tilt to the right on the rotor disk as seen from the rear.
