You didn't show any collective in that video (throttle stick), but I think I can help. First thing you need to do is reverse your aileron channel (right front when looking at it from the back). When you do this, your aileron and elevator both are going to be backwards, but the key here is to get them moving together.
Once you reverse the aileron servo, you should have a swash menu in your Tx somewhere that has 3 settings, Aileron, Elevator and Pitch. Aileron and elevator are the cyclic movements with all 3 working together when you move the right stick, and Pitch is your collective or throttle stick. This menu may be called Swash AFR. Let me know if this helps.

I'm not sure what 120HR3 is. Can you elaborate?
And the status light is red because you are in Rate mode for the tail gyro. You should have a gyro menu where you can adjust your gain. I believe with the S-Bus, your gyro gain will be channel 5, or Gear. But it may be different with Futaba.
If they are moving together but in reverse, then go into your swash AFR settings and reverse the numbers. On spektrum, I would go from +60 to -60 to reverse the movements.

I have to ask this. Are you sure your bolt going through the head block is actually going through the main shaft hole? Also, do you have your main shaft in the helicopter with the "Align" on the bottom?
If all of that is correct, I would double check the length of the rods against the manual just to verify they are not too short.

Hi Tony, the 120HR3 is the terminology that Futaba use for there 120 deg swash plate.

I have a s-bus question as well, but only as it relates to power. My heli is the Align 700e pro with HV servos, and the 3GX has only one port dedicated for power.
To ensure I get enough power to the servos, I would like to add another power wire to the 3GX, but don't know where it might plug into the system. Any ideas?
All of the 3GX ports are taken, except for the two multicolored ports on the end (used when the sbus is not used). These all seem to be signal wires, not part of the power backplane.
I plan to use an unregulated 2600 LiFe battery to supply the power.
Thanks,
