Default Swash Tilt

I'm just setting up my x50 and I have a problem with the swashplate tilting slightly as I raise or lower collective. I've checked all my mechanical links, which are all exactly identical pairs and of the required lengths etc. My swashmix is also working fine - i.e. left is left, back is back, etc.

I just cannot get the swash to move up and down level. It's only a very slight tilt near the top and bottom, but it's obviously not flyable like this. When I look closely at the servos as I move through the collective range, it's almost as if one of the servos slows down near the top which causes the swash to tilt slightly because it's not moving at the same speed as the others at that part. I have my tx set to 120deg.

Tx is a JR DSX9, all 3 cyclic servos are JR ds8311's. Any help would be appreciated!

im assuming this isnt FBL? in that case, set your swash level at mid stick with linear curve. then move your throttle stick all the way up and adjust your travel adjust for the servo thats off. then lower the stick all the way down and do the same. that will make your swash even throughout the collective pitch range.

Yeah, check the throws of the servos. I found my "aileron" servo was not pushing up as much on collective, and I had to set it for over 100% throws a good bit to stay level.
