Control Problems

[Dro8]

lright folks, I'm a newb when it comes to helicopters, but I just bought a E-Flite Blade CP Pro. I've been progressing pretty well and then a problem arose. After a minor crash with no damage, my main rotor blade controls are a bit off. Here's what's happening:

When I push the "elevator" straight forward, the blades acutally pitch forward and left. This pattern continues for each direction. When I push the stick straight to the left, the main rotor blades pitch left and back. I push back, they pitch back and right. I push right they pitch right and forward.

It seems everything is off by about 45 degrees in a counter clockwise direction. I've tried adjusting various linkages & the trims on my transmitter, but nothing seems to work. I like to think I'm a good problem solver when it comes to this stuff, but not this time.

I just want to know what to adjust to get my control inputs to accurately do what I ask. Can anyone help?

Maybe you have a bad servo or not really a dead servo but maybe you have a dead spot in the servo or two? Also maybe something like the feathering shaft is bent or maybe electorics were hurt but sounds more like a sero dead spot or problem let me know if that is it?

That sounds like a phasing problem. There's a dodad that keeps the lower part of the swash from turning. Maybe it got broke off. The 3 balls on the lower part of the swash should form a triangle with the top of it pointing to the front and the spike at the back of the swash should be captured by that dodad sticking up out of the body. The 4 balls on the upper part of the swash should be directly under either a blade or the flybar. Seems to me something is amiss in that area.
