Hi Roaddog,
Notice lots of reads here - no answers. I can't give you the dimensions for the links, but the method I use in building manual-less helis (many cheapos come that way) is to slide the swash up and down the mainshaft, no links connected, measure and mark on the anti-rotation block the midpoint. Set the swash level to this point at midstick and you won't be far out. Once you have set the high/low stick levels and the cyclic pitches make sure that nothing is binding anywhere and that's it.
Tom.
