Default Beginner: Should my flybar paddles be level?

Hi all

I'm a Hummingbird owner, trying to make sense of this all. I've flown my hummingbird several times, had a few crashes but am still very excited about learning more. I noticed that the paddles on the flybar on my hummingbird are not level ( aligned ) so that when I look at them from the side, they are not at the same angle. I'm not sure if they came out of the box like this or got twisted after a crash. Can someone tell me how they are supposed to be aligned?

Thanks

Torfi

perfectly level and perfectly centered. also if you have a carbon fiber flybar rod i would pull it out and check it for cracks after some crashing or overtightening of the set screw. i replaced my cracked one with a metal rod that is used to hold wall insulation up between roof rafters. it was the perfect size and a box of 100 pieces to make 200 rods was 6 bucks. now i'll never run out.

Thanks for the quick reply!

This could explain some of the strange flight characteristics the heli had just before my last crash...
