controller...the simplest answer to your question is no.
For the ppl or cpl theory, the tip path plane is (as asserted by MK10) parallel to the plane of rotation and is the plane through which the tip of the blade travels.
The distance of the tip path plane from the plane of rotation will be determined by disc loading and centrifugal/centripetal (don't even get them started on that one) force, increasing or decreasing the coning angle.
