Can someone with a fbl 500 please tell me what's wrong here?

Hi,

Looking at the pictures of my trex 500 head, please can someone tell me if the long linkages (swashplate to head) are correct - all the pics I've seen show them going vertically up, not tilted as they are on mine. I can't remember what they looked like before taking off the head.

youve gotta straighten those linkage rods,loosen up your swashdriver and move it until the links are straight and then retighten

The main linkages should be vertical, you need to rotate the top half of the swashplate so they run vertically with the main shaft. Don't try and fly it like that!
