Lower the swashplate by one turn on each servo to swashplate link then readjust for zero pitch at half stick.

All that will do is tilt the swash plate for whichever end the adjustment was made.

Start at the beginning. Did you set your servo arms to 90 @ mid stick using subtrim?

Only if you adjust the AIL or ELE it will give more tilt, if you adjust the PIT it will allow the swash to travel up or down for more or less to pitch in either the positive or negative direction

But i would only do this if i have gone over my mechanical setup and happy that everything is 90 deg and everything was level.

I would probably do what Wolfpackin said and lower the swashplate by one turn on each servo to swashplate link then readjust for zero pitch at half stick.

This is not a FBL head. Adjusting the endpoint for just one servo will result in tilt at the top and/or bottom depending upon which endpoint you adjusted, no matter which servo was adjusted.

If the swash was level to begin with, in order to keep it level one must adjust the endpoints of all three servos, not just the PIT servo. Again, this is not a FBL heli.

Ooooops sorry Bob O your correct i was thinking FBL (Maybe i should read the title correctly) In that case i think the best way to solve your problem is to turn your servo arm links down 1 turn then re-adjust the pitch links again @ mid stick to get 0
