Default Roll/Elevator alignment help

I have a Piccolo Fun that I built from the kit (not pre-assembled).

As I am working on becoming familiar with the controls, I notice something that appears odd to me. When I push to the right on the stick, my fly stick (is that the right term for "wings" perpendicular to the main rotor?) tilts forward slighlty as it rotates. It does not do this when I push the stick to the left (roll left).

I also notice that when I pull back on the stick, it appears that the flystick also slightly rotates. It doesn't seem to do that when I push up on the stick.

Everything looks aligned. What am I missing? The elevator and roll controls aren't mixed, are they?

On the Piccolo Fun, the swashplate has four control ball joints, two long and two short. The short ones are for roll control. Only one of the long ones is for elevator control.

FYI, I am using a Piccolo Plus board.

Any insights would really be appreciated.

Keith
