	When the BEASTX System is ready for operation, hold down the button until the Menu LED next to point A flashes quickly, then release the button immediately. The flashing Menu LED A shows that you've entered menu point A of PARAMETER MENU. To skip to the setting you want to adjust, repeatedly press the button until the corresponding Menu LED flashes. The current setting of this menu point is shown by the color and state of the Status-LED. Tapping the rudder stick left/right decreases/increases the value. If you don't like one of the presets, you can edit each setting to your liking with the StudioX Flow app. In this case, if your custom setting does not match any preset, the Status-LED will stay '''off'''. You can still choose one of the presets by tapping the rudder stick, but this will erase your custom setting.<br />		When the BEASTX System is ready for operation, hold down the button until the Menu LED next to point A flashes quickly, then release the button immediately.

	Please note that editing parameters is only possible once the device has completed initialization. So as long as the system is not in operation mode, the button to open the "Parameters" section is greyed out. If it does not complete the initialization sequence, check the device status shown in the middle of the screen. If the system does not finish "Receiver init", check the receiver settings and radio setup. If the system does not finish "Sensor init", make sure it is standing perfectly still and that the power supply is stable.<br />		Please note that editing parameters is only possible once the device has completed initialization.

	==Speed flight stability (Point C)==		==Speed flight stability (Point C)==
	In fast forward flight, apply jerky collective pitch inputs to test this parameter. The helicopter should mainly remain in its horizontal flight path during climbing and descending. If the nose of the helicopter is pitching up and down heavily like a swimming dolphin, increase the setting to compensate for this effect. But if the value is too high, the helicopter might feel sluggish and lazy. So it's best to try finding the lowest suitable setting. Note that the Cyclic Gain must also be set as high as possible. Otherwise the pitching up may just be the result of too little reaction from the gyro system in general.<br />		In fast forward flight, apply jerky collective pitch inputs to test this parameter.

	==Rudder rate consistency (Point D)==		==Rudder rate consistency (Point D)==
	At PARAMETER MENU point D the rudder rate consistency can be adjusted. This parameter comes into play when the tail gyro is operated in HeadingLock mode. It determines how hard the tail gyro tries to maintain a given rotation rate from the transmitter. If the value is set too low, pirouettes will be inconsistent during fast forward flight or in crosswind conditions, and the helicopter will slowly drift on the vertical axis when in stationary hovering flight with crosswinds. If, on the other hand, the setting is too high, the tail gyro will respond with a delay to fast directional changes, and the rudder stick control will feel very imprecise. Additionally, the tail might bounce slowly after stopping a rotational movement and oscillate gently while hovering or flying around. So only adjust this parameter as high as necessary.<br />		At PARAMETER MENU point D the rudder rate consistency can be adjusted.

	==Stick deadzone (E)==		==Stick deadzone (E)==
	The deadzone defines the range around the very center of the stick in which the BEASTX System will not react to stick inputs. Unfortunately, some transmitters available on the market have the problem that when the sticks are brought back to the center position after a stick input, they aren't exactly at the same center position as before. This generates a continuous deviation on the corresponding function, even though the stick seems to be at mid position. This deviation is interpreted as a small input by the system, which leads to an unwanted drift on one or more axes. You can see and feel this especially in hovering flight, when the helicopter keeps turning slightly in one direction or another. This makes it difficult to hover precisely, as it is hard to find a stick position at which no input is sent to the system. This can be very dangerous, as it may cause the helicopter to tip over when trying to take off, or it can cause the pilot to lose control of the helicopter entirely! So increase the stick deadband stepwise, just until you no longer see such effects. Note that as a result of a large stick deadband there will be a wide range around the mid-stick position in which the system will not react to stick inputs - this makes the control less precise. So if using a "large" or "very large" deadband is necessary, we recommend having your transmitter checked by its manufacturer for damaged or worn stick potentiometers.<br />		The deadzone defines the range around the very center of the stick in which the BEASTX System will not react to stick inputs.

	==Torque precompensation/RevoMix (F)==		==Torque precompensation/RevoMix (F)==
	Since the BEASTX System always knows the collective and cyclic inputs, it can help the tail gyro hold the tail in position by precompensating for torque variations on the tail rotor just before any noticeable deviation occurs. This method of torque precompensation (RevoMix) relieves the tail control loop and improves tail performance, especially on helicopters with insufficient tail authority and/or extreme motor torque (e.g. overpowered electric helicopters), where the tail otherwise blows out for a short moment when a sudden collective or cyclic input is applied.<br />		Since the BEASTX System always knows the collective and cyclic inputs, it can help the tail gyro hold the tail in position by precompensating for torque variations on the tail rotor just before any noticeable deviation occurs.

	==Cyclic response (G)==		==Cyclic response (G)==
	Point G lets you set how aggressively the BEASTX System responds to cyclic control commands (roll and pitch). This can reduce the usual uniform, linear control feel of flybarless systems and bring it closer to the feel of a flybarred helicopter.<br />		Point G lets you set how aggressively the BEASTX System responds to cyclic control commands (roll and pitch).

	==Pitch boost (H)==		==Pitch boost (H)==
	PARAMETER MENU point H lets you set up the collective pitch boost function. The faster you move the thrust stick, the more additional collective pitch will be applied. This can be especially useful in 3D aerobatics, where very rapid collective pitch changes are needed for certain flight maneuvers, as it dynamically reduces the required control stick deflection. However, the maximum pitch value will never be exceeded.<br />		PARAMETER MENU point H lets you set up the collective pitch boost function.

	==Throttle response (I)==		==Throttle response (I)==
	Use PARAMETER MENU point I to change the response of the internal Governor control. This determines how fast and how far the system opens the throttle when the rotor speed changes. Ideally the response is set as high as possible. If it is set too low, the main rotor will speed up in unloaded conditions, as the system reduces throttle too slowly. The internal Governor will also increase throttle very cautiously when the rotor is loaded, so the headspeed will drop. If, on the other hand, the response is set too high, the throttle may stutter audibly and kick in very hard, so the motor speed overshoots when the rotor head is loaded - making the headspeed even more inconsistent than with a lower setting. How high the throttle response can be set depends heavily on factors such as heli size (blade size), motor power and performance, and/or the throttle response behavior of the speed controller (when flying an electric heli). If you need to adjust the throttle response, we recommend starting with the lowest value and increasing it stepwise, just until you get the most consistent rotor headspeed. A heli with good motor power and a fast-responding speed controller (on electric helis) typically allows high throttle response values (up to "very aggressive"), which gives very consistent headspeed. Helis with less power (small nitros, gassers, scale helis) prefer low throttle response settings for softer throttle management.<br />		Use PARAMETER MENU point I to change the response of the internal Governor control.

	==Slow rampup speed (J)==		==Slow rampup speed (J)==
	When using the internal Governor function, full throttle is not applied immediately when switching into idle up - instead the motor speed increases slowly until the desired headspeed is reached. At menu point J you can determine how fast this soft start occurs when the Governor is activated initially. The speed is given as the number of revolutions by which the rotor speed increases per second. The higher the value, the faster your preset headspeed will be reached. Please note that the given rates are only indicative - depending on the response of the speed controller and the inertia of the rotor system, it may actually take longer or shorter to reach the desired speed.<br />		When using the internal Governor function, full throttle is not applied immediately when switching into idle up - instead the motor speed increases slowly until the desired headspeed is reached.

	==Fast rampup speed (K)==		==Fast rampup speed (K)==
	When using the internal Governor function and you change the headspeed on the transmitter in flight (i.e. by switching to a different flight mode), the change will not be abrupt - instead the system increases the rotor RPM at a rate that can be adjusted here. This rate also determines how fast the rotor headspeed increases when reactivating the Governor after an autorotation maneuver (autorotation bailout). In that case, since the heli is still in the air, the normal soft start (set at point J) would take far too long for the rotor to speed up again, so this faster spool-up rate is used instead.<br />		When using the internal Governor function and you change the headspeed on the transmitter in flight (i.e. by switching to a different flight mode), the change will not be abrupt - instead the system increases the rotor RPM at a rate that can be adjusted here.
