Aligning tail pitch lever with tail case as in picture 1 on page16, at the 90 degree angle with tail control rod.
The blade grips are off angle, not aligned with boom.
The tail blade holder balls are not on center with blades.
Is this normal, have any pic's to explain this ????
Thanks in Advance

There is a small amount of right rudder built in at 'neutral' setting to offset the counter torque reaction from the main blades - it's likely that your setting gives near neutral hover and I wouldn't be concerned.

same pitch slider non-centerdness on mine. If you are running a 401 you want to set it up like this since you need that correction in hover. You won't end up with full throw in both directions but I haven't noticed a problem with mine
