1. Move the thrust stick up and down and check whether the pitch is changing direction correctly. If not already done at SETUP MENU point I, '''use the reverse function for the pitch channel in the transmitter to reverse direction of pitch movement in case it is wrong'''.<br />

'''In case the display is inverted (red = positive and blue = negative), tap the aileron stick once to reverse the internal pitch direction of MICROBEAST PLUS.'''<br />

3. When you move thrust stick to full deflection the Status LED should light solid, not just flash. If this is not the case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the thrust channel in the transmitter for each direction just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the stick reaches the end positions'''. (Note: Do not increase the endpoints too much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just change from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />

4. Finally adjust the maximum collective pitch when the thrust stick is at full deflection. '''Increase or decrease the maximum amount of collective pitch with the rudder stick (left = decrease, right = increase)'''. Then move the thrust to full negative and again adjust the pitch using the rudder.<br />

4. Finally adjust the maximum collective pitch when the thrust stick is at full deflection. '''Increase or decrease the maximum amount of collective pitch''' with the '''rudder''' stick (left = decrease, right = increase). Then move the thrust to full negative and again adjust the pitch using the rudder.<br />

If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Increase!". In this case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the thrust channel in the transmitter for each direction just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid and the label changes to "OK" in the software when the stick reaches the end positions'''. (Note: Do not increase the endpoints too much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just change from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />

In general you can say "the smaller the helicopter, the more pitch you have to set". But it also depends on how much motor power you helicopter has, the type of rotorblades you use and finally in what you expect to do with the helicopter. So beginner or scale pilots will not need as much pitch as a 3D aerobatics pilot or high speed flyer. Anyhow, as already mentioned above set the pitch range in MICROBEAST PLUS so that it roughly fits to your helicopter mechanics and its capabilities.<br />
