I'd be grateful for some help on this problem. If I hover my Mini-Pred at eye level having adjusted the pitch connectors to make the main blades track correctly, my flybar doesn't seem to be spinning level with the rotor disk. Surely I should see a 'flat' rotor disk with a smaller flybar/paddle disk parallel underneath the rotors? When viewed tail-in (from behind) I would say my flybar disk rotates at a fixed 2 or 3 degrees down to the right.

My question is, given that the pitch linkages have been set to make the main rotors track correctly (and that they link directly to the flybar), what linkages do I need to adjust in order to correct this? Flybar, paddles and main rotors are all balanced, straight and checked. I must admit, this problem doesn't seem to affect the flying too much, or perhaps I've just got used to it! It does seem rather pronounced though, so I'd like to get it sorted. Thanks in advance.
