Hi Guys,
Got everything setup as per manual but have no pitch control. When I throttle up all's good but no pitch is being added. All servos are traveling correctly on everything else but just not adding any pitch? HELP!!!

Verify your pitch curves for the different flight modes.

You didn't mention if the 450 is flybar'd or flybarless. If flybarless, make sure you have set the swash type to Normal. If not flybarless, it should be set to 3-servo 120CCPM.

Use the radio's monitor screen to verify the pitch channel moves as the throttle stick is moved.

did you get it working Morgon, I have the blade 450 3d as well, If it's flybarred, I can help.

As John mentioned already, it's definitely just a matter of a missed step in the programming.

Sorry guys been away for a bit. Also screwed up, actually found the DX6i that came with it and it is a 400 not a 450. What's going on now is one aileron servo is going in the wrong direction when I add pitch. Found a manual and have all settings as per manual but same thing???

Sorry flybar version.

The easiest fix is to go into the swash mix menu and change ELEV to a negative number. If it's already negative, change it to positive. So if the manual says to set it to -60, change it to +60.
