Technically speaking, yes. But if you leave it as that, and start hovering, your heli will start drifting. Left or right depends on the rotation of the blades - Clockwise rotating blades will see the heli drifting to the left, which means, you will compensate a little with right cyclic. Your swash plate will then be tilted slightly right.

So, to answer your question again... with controls all neutral, and "hands off" hovering, the position of your swash plate will not be
entirely flat.

Cheers

thank you Colin thats just the way it worked out.
I am so happy now every thing is smooth and balanced and the only adjustment i had to made was a little cyclic she purrs like a kitten.
