Default CCPM angle change

I have a Caliber 30 setup for CCPM (or EMS as Kyosho calls it). I have noticed that as I increase the throttle and collective pitch, the swash plate angles slightly to the right. Is this normal ? I'm not sure if this is by design and meant to counteract some tendancy for helis to pull to the left during high throttle/pitch moves, or if I may have some slight difference from one servo to the next. I am using and RD6000 with 94322 servos and 120 degree CCPM. I have flown the heli six times now. It seems a little hard to control, but since I am new to helis I don't have much to compare it to. This is probably normal, and just shows how difficult helis are to fly. Should the swash plate angle change slightly as I increasethe collective pitch ?

No. You have some sort of cyclic to pitch interaction. Ideally, the swashplate should remain level during any collective pitch changes, and you should not have any collective pitch changes during a cyclic move. This interaction can be from mismatched servos, incorrect linkage length or setup, sticky links, or a programming problem.
