	If the adjustment's too high, again the heli will feel very sluggish and "synthetic". For me on most helis the best setup was red or blue blinking. When the LED is blue in most cases the heli will feel some kind of strange.. try it out yourself, this adjustment is not critical.

	When it's absolutely not possible to suppress the wobbling/oscillating it seems your heli is mechanically inappropriate. The servos could be too slow, the head geometry not correct, rotorblades have to much forerun, the head dampening is hard, head speed is too low, also try mounting the Microbeast unit with a harder pad ....

	If you don't like the given presets switch to LED blue and adjust Expo yourself in your radio. Also the rotation rate in blue is nearly set to maximum and can be adjusted by Dualrate/servotravel in your radio. So 100% stick deflection is similar to round about 400 deg/s rotationrate. If your heli seems not to rotate this fast and also rising the servotravel beyond 100% doesn't change anything it is likely that your heli is mechanically not able to make faster rotations. Make sure that in Setup menu Point L the cyclic deflection is set to absolute possible maximum. You should have at least 10 - 14 deg of cyclic pitch there. This adjustment does not directly affect the rotation rate, but if you've reduced here too much the system is not able to go beyond the set deflection and so can not provide more rotation rate.

	4. Finally, the tail-stopping behaviour is adjusted using dial 3. To do this, perform fast piros while hovering and then stop the piro abruptly. The tail should stop cleanly without turning further and without swinging back. If the tail continues to turn after the stop or feels "soft" when stopping, increase the gain on dial 3. If the tail swings back when stopping, decrease the gain using dial 3. When tuned properly, the tail should not make much noise when stopping. If you can hear the tail when stopping, you're probably past the optimum setting.		4. Finally, the tail-stopping behaviour is adjusted using dial 3.
