On the aft servo, the rod is hitting the anti-roto guide with the ball link installed on the third hole of the servo arm. My rod links from the servos to the swash are tilted forward, making the mainshaft/head look like it's leaning. Is that normal?
This is how my heli is setup:
servos to swash: 43mm, 49mm, 55mm
swash to mixing arm: 45mm
washout control arm to stabilizer control: 32mm
Am I even in the ballpark?
Also, there is a 1.5mm gap between the main grips and the head, and a 0.5mm gap between the tail grips and tail housing. Is that normal?

Hey there

my observations:

1. you should make the rods as straight as possible. It looks to me that you could make the rod in the rear more straight and remove that binding if you put it in the middle hole of the servo horn and possibly trim that horn, depending on how long it is.

2. It is not normal for that lean. Try to make the rods going to the servos from swash go straight down by putting the links in the other holes. mark it first so you don't end up drilling a hole next to the one you were intending on drilling (like me...lol)

Yup go to center on the arms and trim the horn down.
