At SETUP MENU point K you set the maximum negative and positive collective pitch for your helicopter. Additionaly you have to make sure that MICROBEAST PLUS is detecting the direction of movement correctly. This especially is important when using the rescue bailout function but also has effect on the normal flying!

Don‘t modify the pitch curves in your transmitter when doing the collective adjustments, let everything at default (i.e. -100 0 +100) so the stick is moving the pitch channel over the full range.

When finished you can adjust your pitch curves as you like and as you are used to. But for now we need to set the working range which is necessary to gain optimum performance. This also includes that it is more important to define the mechanical possible range of your helicopter than adjusting the pitch to your flying style. When using a 3D trainer helicopter frame for example this usually will have a symmetric pitch range, i.e. reaching from +12 to -12 degrees. Now when you are a beginner or scale pilot you would not need that high amount of pitch, especially not in the negative section. Anyhow, it is not recommended to set the pitch range of MICROBEAST PLUS asymmetrical to -4 to +12 degrees for example, as this would not represent the helicopters capability. Better is to set the endpoints to -12 and +12 degrees and later use the pitch curve setting in your transmitter to adjust the lower end to your preferred flying style. Have a look in your helicopters manual to find out what is the optimum pitch range.
