SETUP MENU overview
There are a lot of different parameters to optimize the system and tweak it to your personal prefernce. Here is an overview and a short description of the parameters. Some parameters can be directly changed from the device's menu. More complex parameters can be adjusted using the StudioX app. You will get more details about the parameters in the following sections.
On MICROBEAST PLUS / ULTRA the current menu step is indicated by the LED letters. In PARAMETER MENU the menu LED must be flashing.
With NANOBEAST the current menu step is indicated by number of flashes of the Status LED. In PARAMETER MENU the Status LED will flash in purple color. Steps A to G are indicated by 1 to 7 flashes. From steps H to M onwards again there will be 1 to 7 flashes to indicate the current menu step. But here the first flash will be long.

| Menu | Description | off | purple | red flashing | red | blue flashing | blue | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Quick Trim | |||||||
| B | Control Style | custom | normal | sport | pro | extreme | linear | |

| G | Cyclic response | custom | normal | more reactive | very reactive | aggressive | very aggressive | |
A - Quick Trim
Tap or hold sticks for pitch/elevator and roll/aileron to trim swashplate in desired cyclic direction. Use rudder stcik to trim the collectiv. When using RESCUE function (only RESCUE or PROEDITION firmware) enable the rescue function on the radio to enable trim fucntion for artifical horizon. Here you can trim the pitch or roll axis by tapping/holding the corresponding stick on the radio.
B - Control Style
Tap rudder stick to select Control Style (change LED color). The higher the value, the more responsive your helicopter will be and the higher is the maximum rotation rate. Use setting "linear" if you like to use expo and rate function on the radio.
C - Speed flight stability
Tap rudder stick to select Speed flight stability (change LED color). The higher the value, the more locked in your helicopter will be in fast forward flight. It's best to try finding the lowest suitable setting.
D - Rudder rate consistency
Tap rudder stick to select Rudder rate consistency (change LED color). It determines how hard the tail gyro tries to maintain a given rotation rate. If the value is set too low, pirouettes will be inconsistent during fast forward flight and the helicopter will slowly drift on the vertical axis in stationary hovering flight with crosswinds. It's best to try finding the lowest suitable setting.
E - Stick dead zone
Tap rudder stick to select Stick dead zone (change LED color). It defines the range around the very center of the stick in which the system will not react to stick inputs. It's best to try finding the lowest suitable setting.
F - Revo Mix
Tap rudder stick to select amount of Revo Mixing (torque precompensation) and direction (change LED color). Use Revo Mix when the tail goes away in torque direction when applying a sudden collective or cyclic input.
G - Cyclic response
Tap rudder stick to select amount of Cyclic response (change LED color). This determines how aggressive the system will responds to cyclic control commands (roll and pitch). Use the normal setting for linear reaction or gradually increase for a more reactive feeling.
