	Setup menu point '''B''' is for selecting the servo update frequency (pulse rate) for the swashplate servos. To optimize the performance of MICROBEAST PLUS the rule is: the higher the better! With high update frequency the system will recalculate correctional movements more often and in consequence will send new commands to the servos with a higher frequency. Nevertheless, this will cause the servos to make more position changes at a given timeframe. In case your servo is not built for this kind of application this can cause an unusual high power consumption of the receiver power supply and cause the servos getting very hot. When this happens, reduce frequency immediately to prevent your servos from getting damaged. Only go as high as recommended by the servo manufacturer, or even lower when the servo is not capable of handling such high frequency in field use.<br />		Setup menu point '''B''' is for selecting the servo update frequency (pulse rate) for the swashplate servos.
