There are three control rods to the swash on a 300, they move collectively down for positive pitch. There is a mechanical mixer at the front of the trans housing that enables all 3 rods to move with the collective. If you were to grab ONE at the swash you would be making a cyclic input, but without the 1.5-2 foot lever arm of the cyclic or collective handle you would need to be Heman to get it to budge!
